Subject: scripts/recordmcount.pl: support big endian for ARCH sh
The kernel test robot reported the following issue:
CC [M] drivers/soc/litex/litex_soc_ctrl.o
sh4-linux-objcopy: Unable to change endianness of input file(s)
sh4-linux-ld: cannot find drivers/soc/litex/.tmp_gl_litex_soc_ctrl.o: No such file or directory
sh4-linux-objcopy: 'drivers/soc/litex/.tmp_mx_litex_soc_ctrl.o': No such file
The problem is that the format of input file is elf32-shbig-linux,
but sh4-linux-objcopy wants to output a file which format is elf32-sh-linux:
$ sh4-linux-objdump -d drivers/soc/litex/litex_soc_ctrl.o | grep format
drivers/soc/litex/litex_soc_ctrl.o: file format elf32-shbig-linux
