Thanks for replying, JSM. Looking at config.gcc, there still seems to be a quite a number of targets that still use the apcs-gnu ABI. Are you suggesting all of the non-EABI targets be deprecated, or just the arm-linux-gnu/arm-elf configurations? Is there any downside or reason why not to add need_64bit_hwint=yes for all arm targets?
