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?
