Hi all,
what is the difference beetween this abi?
The standard arm procedure call is the first one. What is introduced in the
apcs-gnu? Is there some documentation about the last one?

"apcs-gnu" is the pre-EABI calling convention. I believe it's based mainly on the RISCiX calling convention. There are many different variants of the APCS but AFAIK none of them particularly well documented. The best documentation for apcs-gnu is probably "whatever gcc generates".

"aapcs" is defined in the ABi for the Arm Architecture (aka. EABI)

Ok, but the default is to use the apcs-gnu instend of aapcs. Is it right? For compatibility problem is usefull to forse the abi to the standard.
