I'm thinking less and less of this ARM EABI.  Take an existing ABI and
make all sorts of arbitrary changes to it.  Someone should be smacked.

Can you work around this by fiddling with ASM_PREFERRED_EH_DATA_FORMAT,
such that you don't need changes to generic code?

As for the rest, I think adding 15 different hooks just to satisfy one
new ABI is dumb.  We might as well admit it and just test is_arm_eabi
all over the place instead.[1]

But of course, I'm not being paid to do the work, so I can say this.  ;-)
