MK_ARM_EABI to retire in current

[Warner Losh]

Greetings,

MK_ARM_EABI is going to die in current. It is the default for all platforms currently. I’m eliminating it as a build option. It must die because it invisibly (to uname) effects the ABI.

So, to that end, I see two options:

(1) Retire and remove oabi support.
(2) Retain oabi support, but change its name to armo and armoeb.

The rough consensus of arm developers I’ve polled now, and in the past, is that we just let oabi support die now that EABI support is working for everybody.

Before I pull the trigger on this, however, I must ask if anybody has a problem with my doing option (1), and if so, what keeps you using oabi.

Comments?
