Previously, an external-toolchain on a mipsel/mips64el target
didn't select the appriopriate endianness but
it asked the user to set the correct CFLAGS on his/her own.
We fix this by appending "-EL" to the toolchain wrapper options
if the user has selected a mipsel/mips64el target.

Dear Markos Chandras,

If we're on mipsel or mips64el, we're always little endian, right? So
maybe the test on BR2_ENDIAN isn't that useful? :-)

Should we do it for -EB as well? Or do we consider because the Sourcery
toolchain defaults to big endian we don't need to explicit -EB ?

Thanks,

Thomas

Oh right that makes sense...

It's not necessary because the default is for big endian. But if you 
prefer to do that for the sake of consinstency I am fine with it :)

Peter can you fix this patch before you commit it or should I send a v2?

I have a bunch of other external toolchain / toolchain patches, so I
can take your patch as well and send a global patch series to Peter.

Thanks!

Hi Thomas,

Oh that would be great! Would you be able to remove the redundant
"ifeq ($(BR2_ENDIAN),"LITTLE")" or should I send a new patch? :)

Applied to for-peter-2013.11, after making a few fixes (remove the
BR2_ENDIAN test, addition of the big endian case).

Thanks!
