How to install big-endian OS on an ARM computer?

ARM processors can operate in both big endian and little-endian modes (switching is done with the SETEND instruction).
You need to load an operating system on one of the Raspberry Pi, Cubietruck or HiKey computers that runs in big endian mode and supports programs compiled in big-endian mode.
Which free OS/Linux/BSD distribution provides this capability?

PS. Please don't ask why I need this
