Subject: need possibility to override default endianness

if you compile musl mips on mispel with landley's gcc 4.1.2, or gcc 
3.4.6, bits/endian.h says the BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN, and breaks 
built apps (for example sha512 code used in butch).

i know that more recent gcc's set the macro automatically, still:

rather than overwriting that file manually i'd prefer if musl had a flag 
to indicate the desired endianness.

i.e. ./configure --with-target-endian=little
