arm-elf-gdb can't load big-endian thumb programs



With the latest gdb sources, programs built with current gcc tools and 
-mthumb -mbig-endian will no longer load into either gdb or the ARM 
simulator.  This used to work... and still does if the same executable is 
loaded into an old version of the simulator; so I don't think it is gas/ld 
that's at fault.

I don't know about other combinations, I've not had a chance to try them.
