 NetBSD switched on newer ARM CPUs to EABI and keeps compat with OABI. A
 user is free to build either EABI and OABI for ARMv4+ CPUs. Older pre
 ARMv4 CPUs use OABI only.

 Shark doesn't use all instructions that are generated by GCC (I forgot
 the CPU property name of it) and thus it has to be switched to Clang/LLVM.

 I'm not sure how relevant the netbsd-elf port is these days.  I 
 believe they've
 now moved onto an EABI based ABI.  But no GCC port of that has been

 Shark's use strongARM cpus, which are ARMv4.  That's not been obsoleted,
 but it is considered deprecated these days.

 We verify these ports on real hardware.

 NetBSD/shark is prepared to be switched to Clang/LLVM as GCC is
 obsoleting it and surprisingly LLVM soon might have support for a wider
 range of ARM CPUs.

 GCC-9 will drop support for pre-armv4 CPUs.  Such support has been
 marked as deprecated for about 3 years now.

You're not making sense.  Please be more explicit as to what you mean
and give an example.  GCC can generate instructions for ARMv4 and
StrongARM (used by the shark) is an ARMv4 part.

I've run gcc generated code on shark boards for years and not seen problems.

Shark's use strongARM cpus, which are ARMv4.  That's not been obsoleted,
but it is considered deprecated these days.

NetBSD/shark is prepared to be switched to Clang/LLVM as GCC is
obsoleting it and surprisingly LLVM soon might have support for a wider
