These options control Byte Addressing mode:
‑‑be8Specifies ARMv6 Byte Invariant Addressing big-endian mode.
This is the default Byte Addressing mode for ARMv6 big-endian images and means that the linker reverses the endianness of the instructions to give little-endian code and big-endian data for input objects that have been compiled/assembled as big-endian.
Byte Invariant Addressing mode is only available on ARM processors that support ARMv6 and above.
‑‑be32Specifies legacy Word Invariant Addressing big-endian mode, that is, identical to big-endian images prior to ARMv6. This produces big-endian code and data.
Word Invariant Addressing mode is the default mode for all pre‑ARMv6 big-endian images.
For more information on endian support, see:
Support for ARM architecture v6 in the Compiler User Guide
