Try what I suggested in my previous message, namely figuring
out what target name is conventionally used for a big-endian
sh3 target (probably sh3eb-unknown-linux-gnu), and try that.
Tools like binutils etc. often set their default endianness
by looking at the target name.

If that doesn't do it, we can look for more places to jam -mb, e.g.
GCC_EXTRA_CONFIG="--enable-cxx-flags=-mb" or something like
that...
