Building an allmodconfig kernel fails horribly because of endian mismatch. It turns out that the -mlittle-endian switch was not honored at all as we were using the wrong Kconfig symbol and failing to apply CPUFLAGS to the CFLAGS. Finally, the linker flags did not get set right. This addresses all three of those issues, which now lets me build both big-endian and little-endian kernels for testing.
