For gas look at gas/config/tc-CPU.h.  Set TARGET_BYTES_BIG_ENDIAN.  Then
figure out what BFD target you are using.  Let's say it's
bfd/elf32-CPU.c.  Look in that file for TARGET_LITTLE_SYM and
TARGET_LITTLE_NAME.  Change them to TARGET_BIG_SYM and TARGET_BIG_NAME.
If it's not ELF, you'll have to do something else.
