Why do you want to do big-endian testing?

Big-endian is essentially dead, with Fedora (which for years has
offered both BE and LE Power) dropping big-endian support due to both
a lack of resources and the fact that new Power based projects are LE.

Red Hat EL 8 is LE only on Power.

And IBM itself started the process to switch Power to being a LE only
platform due to client/vendor desires 4 years ago:
