[PATCH] ARC: Explicitly specify OUTPUT_FORMAT in the linker script

From: Alexey Brodkin
Date: Fri Jun 01 2018 - 06:49:19 EST


It might be a good idea to explicitly specify BFD format
depending on -EB/-EL option passed to the linker and not rely on
default behavior as we have now.

Description of the OUTPUT_FORMAT command is available here:
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Format-Commands.html#Format-Commands
