I did not expect that to be necessary in gcc as long as it supports building for armv4 (non-t), but I might be missing something here. > I have one OABI that I can think of would be nice to live on > and it's the RedHat derivative on my Foorbridge NetWinder. > OK I wouldn't cry if we have to kill it because it is too hard to > keep supporting it, but it has been running the latest kernels > all along so if it's not a huge effort I'd be interested in knowing > the options. But do you see any problems with cross-compiling kernels to EABI with CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT for machines like that? I would guess that you can't actually build modern kernels on the RedHat OABI compiler any more as they presumably predate the current minimum gcc-4.6. Arnd
