As I understand it, the plan is that eventually everything is EABI, including the older armv4/5 stuff, so that needs testing too. You know what I haven't stumbled across yet is a simple explanation of why EABI is better then OABI. I tried to search for some info the other day, but there are so many noise hits on the search I didn't find a simple synopsis of differences or advantages. -- Ian
