Before someone takes that the wrong way - Richard Earnshaw worked on porting binutils + gcc to the ARM architecture. I worked on converting that toolchain to work for ARM Linux - supporting the a.out shared libraries and other Linux specific features.
Changing the ABI was, and still is completely outside my level of knowledge of gcc.
