I did not say that.

I said if any compiler options must  be  adapted  to  match  the  ABI
implemented by the tool chain, then this is an issue that is internal
to  this  tool chain, and nothing we should bother about. If the tool
chain  wants  to  produce  FOO-comptible  code  it  must  make   sure
(internally)  to  set  all  required options and provide all required
library routines for the FOO ABI - whatever that might be.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
