Yes, there are #define's in all my linux toolchains for mips.
They all define:
__MIPSBE__, __MIPSBE, _MIPSBE, MIPSBE for big endian and
__MIPSEL__, __MIPSEL, _MIPSEL, MIPSEL for little endian.

I think we can risk to use these defines directly instead of introducing 
our own. A reworked patch will follow the next days.

Yes I agree. I am happy to prepare a separate patch this weekend. It is 
a bit wired, but manageable.
