So you seem to imply that the current settings in crostool-NG are OK?

Also, you'll note that if you start from scratch (ie not using a sample),
selecting EABI will make the ABI to default to aapcs.

Tre`s ?

But yes, that's confusing for the average user. Maybe we could add a comment
in the EABI help saying that CFLAGS will include "-mabi=aapcs-linux" and
./configure will get called with "--with-abi=aapcs".

I was about to remove the EXPERIMENTAL status of EABI earlier this week, but
this very thread proves that there are still potential problems with EABI.
