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.
