 Good -- it means you haven't been watching over my shoulder. ;-)  I've 
used them several times for big-endian builds with my toolchain, which, as 
you may be aware, has been exclusively little-endian so far.

 And they are actually used to implement these "-EL" and "-EB" options.  
Frankly I find "-mel" and "-meb" more consistent with the others as "-m*" 
generally imply target-specific options.
