Indeed. Here's the revised patch.

How about removing the inline checks for endianness
and calling _bfd_generic_verify_endian_match() instead ?

	* elf32-mcore.c (mcore_elf_merge_private_bfd_data): Check endianness
	only if it is known for both input and output bfds.  

	* libbfd.c (_bfd_generic_verify_endian_match): Likewise.  

	* elf32-mips.c (_bfd_mips_elf_merge_private_bfd_data): Likewise.  

	* elf32-ppc.c (_bfd_mips_elf_merge_private_bfd_data): Likewise.  

	* elf32-arm.h (elf32_arm_merge_private_bfd_data): Check for input and
	output bfd endiannes before checking bfd flavour.
