System: 
Architecture: armeb
Machine: evbarm
>Description:

	when attempting to build native tools on an armeb box i noticed that
	everything was defaulting to "arm" not "armeb".  eventually i tracked
	this down to sysctl hw.machine_arch returning "arm" not "armeb".

>How-To-Repeat:

	try to build gdb-current on an armeb machine.

>Fix:

	make <sys/param.h> for arm ports set MACHINE_ARCH to "armeb" for big
	endian platforms.  the style used in evbmips/include/param.h may be ok.
