Except that objects created by the toolchain have EABI version = 0 !!
I need EABI version = 4 for compatibility :(
So that suggests that I need a target suffix containing '-eabi'.

Any ideas ?

I mean, where is this stuff documented - I've trawled through gcc docs
and not found anything that explains these problems.
I'm presumably not the only person to encounter this issue !
