Ah. That's a bit of a show stopper.

I have a very large multi-threaded C++ app and a custom embedded Linux
platform that have historically been developed at different times. The
SW is now over 10 years old and I fear change so just stuck to the ABI
that has always worked...
Probably time to bite the bullet and move our kernel to EABI for our
next major release.
