Yann E. MORIN" 75bc67da4a arch/arm: OABI is no more, switch to only EABI
Well, leave the prompt as an OBSOLETE thing, scheduled to
be removed soon.

As an indication OABI lives its last days, gcc-4.8 will no
longer recognise non-EABI targets.

Set up the toolchain so that it generates EABI-compliant binaries.
If you say 'n' here, then the toolchain will generate OABI binaries.
OABI has long been deprecated, and is now considered legacy.

Is you say 'y' here, then the tuple for the toolchain will end
up with *eabihf, instead of the usual *eabi.
*eabihf is used to denote that the toolchain *is* using the
hard-float ABI, while *eabi is just an indication of using the
soft-float ABI.
Ie. all one can say is: *eabihf ⊢ hard-float ABI
Saying 'n' here does *not* impact the ability of the toolchain to
generate hard-float instructions with the hard-float ABI. It is a
purely cosmetic thing, used by distros to differentiate their
hard-float-ABI-using ports from their soft-float-ABI-using ports.
(eg. Debian Wheezy and above).
This is an option, as not all versions of gcc/binutils do support
such tuple, and fail to build with *eabihf. Stock gcc version up
to, and including 4.7.2 have an issue or another with *eabihf.
This option is here for the future.
Say 'n', unless you are trying to fix gcc to properly recognise
the *eabihf tuples.
