Greetings,

MK_ARM_EABI is going to die in current. It is the default for all =
platforms currently. I=92m eliminating it as a build option. It must die =
because it invisibly (to uname) effects the ABI.

So, to that end, I see two options:

(1) Retire and remove oabi support.
(2) Retain oabi support, but change its name to armo and armoeb.

The rough consensus of arm developers I=92ve polled now, and in the =
past, is that we just let oabi support die now that EABI support is =
working for everybody.

Before I pull the trigger on this, however, I must ask if anybody has a =
problem with my doing option (1), and if so, what keeps you using oabi.

Comments?

Warner
