Normal architectures:

 - Big endian: avr32, frv, m68k, openrisc, parisc, s390, sparc

 - Little endian: alpha, blackfin, cris, hexagon, ia64, metag, mn10300,
                  score, unicore32, x86

 - Choose in config time: arc, arm, arm64, c6x, m32r, mips, powerpc, sh

Special architectures:

 - Deside by compiler: microblaze, tile, xtensa.

 - Deside by building host: um

 - Next, need improve Kbuild to probe endian to deside whether need mark
   __BUILDING_TIME_BIG_ENDIAN__ before real config.

I've tested this part and it doesn't select neither CPU_BIG_ENDIAN,
nor CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN. And looking into the Kconfig/Kbuild I cound't

Correction: it always selects CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN, regardless of the
compiler endianness.

find anything related to __BUILDING_TIME_BIG_ENDIAN__. Am I missing
something?
