+Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: remove default endianness
+
+There is no way to remove configuration options from EXTRA_CFLAGS
+without editing Makefile. So default LE configuration can not be
+conveniently replaced by BE. Remove default endianness from the
+Makefile to enable its configuration via USER_EXTRA_CFLAGS.
