You do something similar in the cpu/mips/config.mk where the version
of assembler is checked and then appropriate flags are chosen.
How about something like:
# ${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc -dumpspecs

And check what is written under the *multilib_defaults, if it is
EL or EB.

In my case (little endian):
*multilib_defaults:
EL mips1 mabi=32

And then add to LDFLAGS either -EL or -EB.

I am not a awk/sed/grep expert. :-(
Maybe someone else who knows the tools can do that?

BR,
