It is used in build system as part of "formal" BE ABI support as pointed to in v4
series review. This specific thing helps choose the right dynamic linker name for
BE case.

$ git grep HAVE_ARC_BE
config.h.in:113:#undef HAVE_ARC_BE
sysdeps/arc/configure:175:  $as_echo "#define HAVE_ARC_BE 1" >>confdefs.h
sysdeps/arc/configure.ac:22:  AC_DEFINE(HAVE_ARC_BE)
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arc/shlib-versions:3:%ifdef HAVE_ARC_BE

I looked at other ports and they seem to follow similar patters: csky for CSKYABI,
riscv for RISCV_ABI_XLEN etc.

But I can rework if there's a simpler/better way.

ARC gcc generates __mcount and _mcount with different ABIs and we use the newer
__mcount.

We inhibit small data explicitly which by default kicks in.

Do you mean add following to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arc/Makefile

ifeq ($(subdir),nptl)
libpthread-routines += sigrestorer
libpthread-shared-only-routines += sigrestorer
endif

And that is to optimize the reference to restorer as a direct PC relative access
vs a got reference ?

It seems even in libc, this is currently not optimal. It seems we need
libc_hidden_* on restorer.

This is where the BE define is used.
