Is there an actual ABI document for this (or one with the old/new 
variations tagged appropriately like in the 32-bit unified ABI)?

Are things changing that don't affect binutils (such as long double format 
as suggested for little-endian in 
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-10/msg00597.html> - or the 
places where the function calling ABI is based on accidents of how GCC 
assigned machine modes to structures, rather than being anything that was 
particularly logically designed)?
