The world seems to have settled on big-endian as a default for mips64,
and LE is the exception; the GNU arch names reflect that. It's a lot
easier for us if we go along with that, even though it's inconsistent
with our convention for 32-bit MIPS. Trying to get the world to cope
with the "mips64eb" string isn't worth the trouble.
