MIPS is currently only supporting Big Endian, but many modern MIPS devices are little endian, including all Android devices. So there should be some kind of support for setting little-endian for MIPS.

In the future there are probably other platforms with this issue, just to a much smaller degree.

This works now with --target=mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu or a flexible target specification JSON file.

Okay!
