Try editing the configuration file in gcc/config/arm/t-arm-elf

and enable the lines that read

MULTILIB_OPTIONS     += mlittle-endian/mbig-endian
MULTILIB_DIRNAMES    += le be
MULTILIB_MATCHES     += mbig-endian=mbe mlittle-endian=mle

You can then build all your programs with the -mbig-endian switch (don't 
forget to also use that while linking).
