Actually you should stop GNU ld from generating it in the EABI case; it's 
not a flag defined by the EABI so should be avoided for new EABI binaries.

(A few years ago I reviewed the GNU tools against the ARM EABI and sent a 
list of issues to ARM at their request, and this issue was on the list.  
I don't know if the ARM people involved in maintaining binutils and other 
tools have filed any of the identified issues in the public bug trackers 
for the various components, although I have done myself so for a few 
issues relating to glibc.)
