Some documentation for --be8: https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/ARM.html and https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/ARM-Options.html
As far as I'm aware, --be32 is deprecated but needed to be added for backwards compatibility.

The --be8 and --be32 were added at the same time because this patch is a precursor for the patch that adds --be8 support. You're right though, it does not belong in this patch.

Thanks.
