Hello,
I'm planning on changing the default ARM ABI to the ARM EABI. I believe
all the known issues have been fixed, however I would like to know if
there are any outstanding problems.
I have attached the patch I would like to commit. If there are no major
objections I'm planning on committing this in around a week.
Andrew

Fix targets that run multiple make's to use && rather than ;
so that subsequent steps depend on success of previous.
