And this is caused by soft-float.

Summary of situation:

arm EABI hard-float: builds.

armeb EABI hard-float: libgcc_s.so fails to link due to incorrect file
format of libc.so

arm/armeb OABI hard-float: builds.
arm/armeb OABI soft-float: fails as above (both endians fail the same
way).

I haven't tried soft-float EABI.
