Riku:

From talkhing to people at debconf5, I understand that most arm hardware
is "natively" big endian, and you need explictly set the hardware to
little-endian. The main reason most people use arm in l-e mode is
because, well, most people use is in l-e mode and most prebuilt binaries
are l-e..

ARM is in fact "endian neutral", and the system specification does contain provisions for selecting and switching the endian sense of the host processor.

But a lot of the low-end ARM implementations are fixed little-endian.
