+config AEABI
+ bool "Use the ARM EABI to compile the kernel"
+ help
+ This option allows for the kernel to be compiled using the latest
+ ARM ABI (aka EABI). This is only useful if you are using a user
+ space environment that is also compiled with EABI.
+
+ Since there are major incompatibilities between the legacy ABI and
+ EABI, especially with regard to structure member alignment, this
+ option also changes the kernel syscall calling convention to
+ disambiguate both ABIs and allow for backward compatibility support
+ (selected with CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT).
+
+ To use this you need GCC version 4.0.0 or later.

+ help
+ This option preserves the old syscall interface along with the
+ new (ARM EABI) one. It also provides a compatibility layer to
+ intercept syscalls that have structure arguments which layout
+ in memory differs between the legacy ABI and the new ARM EABI
+ (only for non "thumb" binaries). This option adds a tiny
+ overhead to all syscalls and produces a slightly larger kernel.
+ If you know you'll be using only pure EABI user space then you
+ can say N here. If this option is not selected and you attempt
+ to execute a legacy ABI binary then the result will be
+ UNPREDICTABLE (in fact it can be predicted that it won't work
+ at all). If in doubt say Y.
