Created attachment 9367 [details]
retain mapping symbols in object files on big-endian ARM for correct byte-swapping on linking

As discussed[1] strip should retain ARM mapping symbols in object files on big-endian arm so that the linker can byte-swap them correctly. Attached patch implements that.
