I found two files releated this.

  src/gnu/dist/include/elf/common.h:
    /* Values for e_machine, which identifies the architecture */
    #define EM_MIPS         8       /* MIPS R3000 (officially, big-endian
only) */
    #define EM_MIPS_RS4_BE 10       /* MIPS R4000 big-endian */

  /usr/share/misc/magic:
    >>18    leshort         8               MIPS R3000_BE - invalid byte
order,
    >>18    leshort         10              MIPS R3000_LE,
    >>18    beshort         8               MIPS R3000_BE,
    >>18    beshort         10              MIPS R3000_LE - invalid byte
order,

A gcc generate ELF header with machine=08, 00 which means
0x0008 in a lettle endian style and a file command shows
'invalid byte order' acording to the magic file.

I don't know which is correct :-(
