As it happens I was just in the process of preparing that exact same 
patch (right down to the character - spooky).

I also had an issue with default_ld_assemble in lib/ld-lib.exp. It tries 
to apply linker endian flags to the assembler. I have attached the patch 
I was using. Did you not see this issue?

There is also an issue because not all SH architectures have a little 
endian variant, and therefore not all instructions and relocations are 
implemented in both endians.
