The toolchain has some big-endian support in it, and I have used it to build
big-endian kernels for an eval board I'm doing a port to, but it is not well-
tested, and there are likely to be several parts of the NetBSD/arm kernel that
assume little-endian.

Note that if you're using "hpcarm", you're talking about a system designed
to run WinCE, and thus is designed to be little-endian.
