Me neither - I thought that the specs there were what was used by default.
I had a further quick read about it and that isn't the case.

Yes, it's been ages since I looked at the issue -- I know the oldabi
ARMedslack used that method, but I'd forgotten about the EABI version.

The floating point used is the same as Debian use for their armel port:
