This doesn't fix lint, since lint only checks MACHINE_ARCH, and not the
definition of the mipse{l,b}.

Yeah, it's basically lint that's the problem...

However, this still raises the interesing question of whether endian-ness
even belongs in MACHINE_ARCH.  Obviously for some processors endian-ness
is determined by MACHINE_ARCH, so besides Mips and Hitachi, what other
processors can run in big or little endian modes?
