Support building big-endian objects (#2382)

The JIT build_object routine currently rejects building object files
for any big-endian platform.  However, most of the object builder
code works fine for either byte order, with the exception of a small
change in the ObjectBuilderTarget::new routine.

This patch adds that change and removes the assert in build_object.
