My fault. I first googled for "arm-android-eabi", and there I got a gcc 
patch from 2008 where it is still called that way 
(http://old.nabble.com/-PATCH--ARM--Support-arm-android-eabi-td18160980.html).

I then thought of downloading the ndk and issuing that command, did 
that, copy&pasted it into the email and immediately sent it without 
looking :)

At some point that changed for whatever reason.

Note that I do not think that this changes much, even worse, it means 
we actually need a compiler target anyway because of different ABI to 
normal linux. Additionally, as I already said once, bionic is very 
likely the official OS interface, so we should use that like in OS X 
(and syscalls are subject to change; need to check that).
