Scott,
The Netwinder is based on the EBSA285, which in turn was based (to a small extent)
on the EBSA110. All of these architectures will work with ARM Arch 4 binaries.

The kernel will allow binaries to run to a limited extent without any FP support
loaded/compiled in. However, it is generally a good idea to fetch the new 2.2
Acorn FPE (in my testing/ directory on the FTP site), or compile NWFPE in.
