+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.
