Oh? Sorry, what does BE8 stand for?  arch/arm/mm/Kconfig says:

CONFIG_CPU_ENDIAN_BE8
Support for the BE-8 (big-endian) mode on ARMv6 and ARMv7 processors.

vs:
CPU_ENDIAN_BE32
Support for the BE-32 (big-endian) mode on pre-ARMv6 processors.

So BE8 seems newer?  It looks like in my tests, enabling
CPU_BIG_ENDIAN via menuconfig enabled CPU_ENDIAN_BE8.

Ah and ixp4xx_defconfig selects CPU_ENDIAN_BE32.  Yep, and the
disassemblies of those match, too.
