This trick can not work with the ELDK toolchain, which also I don't
want to think about and be involved in discussion any more.   See:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/81572/focus=81735

Users who need to dig into this area should install the ELDK first,
build little-endian targets with it by yourself, then find a way
to handle endianness appropriately which works for both the ELDK and
non-ELDK toolchains.

Or I may miss something.  If it's already verified with the ELDK,
please let me know, thanks.
