Yes, if you want to support BE then it should be documented as supported,
it should have its own dynamic linker name (with consequent GCC change
required to use that name) and it should have its own build in
build-many-glibcs.py.

If they're not binary compatible (so you can't have a binary that works on
both) that indicates they should also be considered separate ABIs (so you
have four dynamic linker names, each with corresponding build in
build-many-glibcs.py, plus any other variants that are relevant to build
in build-many-glibcs.py without being different ABIs, such as hard/soft
float).
