Paul,
I've just realized that there are a couple of omissions from this patch
(there's no need to back it out, but I think they would be best addressed
while the patch is fresh in your mind):
BE8 mode should really only be possible for EABI v3 or later images.
It ought to be possible to create a configuration where BE8 mode is the
default (assuming a big-endian object file)...
...so it should also be possible to disable that behaviour by requesting a
BE32 image.
I'm not sure if this can happen, but it shouldn't be possible to generate
BE8 when doing a partial link.
R.
