The only advantage I see is that it shortens the code a tiny bit, but that's only because there is no `read32ne` wrapper for this like `read32[bl]e`... So I would advocate for keeping it as-is, but at the end of the day I'll change it if necessary.
Does not seem you need `llvm::support::endian::` prefix here since you added the `using`?

(And I would also just use our `write32` from Target.h here.
```
inline void write32(void *P, uint32_t V) {
  llvm::support::endian::write32(P, V, Config->Endianness);
}
```

This code is called once for the output section, so it's about .. 10-30 calls in average? 
Does not seem worth to think about slow down here.)
