Add documentation about the interation of the ARM assembler's -EB option and the linker's --be8 option.
PR binutils/18198
* ld.texinfo (--be8): Add a note about the interaction of this
option with the assembler's -EB option.
* doc/c-arm.texi (ARM Options): Add a note about the interaction of
the -EB option with the linker's --be8 option.
