Hello,

I have built an updated ARM EABI test image for Raspberry Pi [1].

The only known issue is c++ exception handling is broken when
using in a dynamically linked executable. Static executables should
work with c++ exceptions.

To test it you will have to extract it using unxz and dd it to an sd
card, for example, with a USB to SD adapter on /dev/da0:
$ unxz bsd-pi-eabi-r247609.img.xz
$ dd if=bsd-pi-eabi-r247609.img of=/dev/da0

If you don't have a Raspberry Pi but would like to try it on your board
you can add -DWITH_ARM_EABI to the make commands you use to build and
install world and the kernel.

Can people try this as I would like to know if anything else is broken
as this will become the default ABI for 10.

Andrew
