I had a look at this over the weekend. I managed to get a userland compiled with the current abi into single user mode on a kernel compiled with -mabi=aapcs-linux (gnueabi). The main problem I found was the change in packing for structs causing strange behaviour in userland. My plan is to clean up the code and post it somewhere for further testing. Andrew
