That implies that when I loaded a big-endian file it should have
switched to big-endian. It didn't seem to -- I'll have to try that
again.

Since 50% of my sample of 2 target interfaces don't correctly report
endianess, it may not be something worth investigating.

Now that I know what happened, it's not a big deal. I can just set it
in .gdbinit.
