That's what I'm figuring out, but it tried to create a link from "asm-arm" and I wasn't sure if there were endian dependencies there. Can I just link it to "asm-armeb" and have it work? I think I'm just going to link all my tools so they're available as both "armeb-linux" and "arm-linux". My worry is that something will be specifically little-endian somewhere and will be quietly compiled incorrectly.
