Well, it's a bit more complicated than that. Actually we already use
something called soft-float, however the EABI is supposed to bring us
even more performance.
OpenEmbedded has the necessary EABI bits in place, I was merely
quoting this to "warn" all you guys that there will be ABI breakage in
a couple of months.
