Yes, I have tried both 10 and head with WITHOUT_ARM_EABI=yes and no
output after go in redboot. My compile lines look like this:

make TARGET_ARCH=armeb TARGET_CPUTYPE=xscale toolchain
make TARGET=arm TARGET_ARCH=armeb buildkernel KERNCONF=AVILA DESTDIR=/arm/

And then in redboot "load -b 0x200000 kernel" to load it with tftp. And
then "go".

The "no output" happened somewhere between mid December and beginning
of Feb. I determined that before getting side tracked. I'll see in the
next day or two if I can narrow that down.

If someone have patches so that WITHOUT_ARM_EABI=yes is not needed
anymore, I'll test that too.
