4.1.1 (this is the first gcc that supports eabi).

2.3.90.

yes.

yes.

i dunno.  only kernel 2.6.16 onwards support eabi, afaik, and the two
aren't compatible, although you might be able to make it work if you
know which settings to change in i_linux.pas, but i think it's not
that simple.

i know that ld have complained about linking my fpc programs with
libraries, but i suspect that's an interworking-related thing.
luckily ld does have some options to control this.

any fpc developer care to comment?

only as and ld, i think?

i urge you to read this:

http://wiki.debian.org/ArmEabiPort
http://www.codesourcery.com/gnu_toolchains/arm/faq.html

i haven't completely read it (hence i can't answer your questions that
well, sorry).
