Will you be posting corresponding patches to glibc (setjmp / longjmp / 
*context functions, at least; preferably also dynamic linker sanity checks 
using this new ELF flag to ensure that classic hard-float o32 binaries 
don't use -mfp64 o32 shared libraries, and vice versa) and GDB/gdbserver 
(both register handling and function call/return support for the new ABI 
if not already present)?  What about an ABI supplement explaining how 
-mfp64 affects the hard-float o32 function call / return ABI, if there 
isn't already such a document?
