 Why have you complicated it that much?  AFAIK:

cflags-$(CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN)         += -meb
cflags-$(CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN)      += -mel

would work just fine with all GCC versions supported (i.e. including 
2.95.x).  It's true "-EL" and "-EB" are broken, also with 4.0.0 (not sure 
if afterwards) -- it's related to an incorrect setup for the default specs 
for Linux, but it can be avoided using these alternative options as above.
