Yeah, I'm not clear on it either, which is why I was really hoping someone
from arm circles would provide some input.

Another possibility is that it's not an ABI issue in your code, but that
the binaries in the archive were somehow miscompiled, and a simple recompile
fixes it.  If someone could do a rebuild of the package for arm using the
final sarge toolchain, and running an official sarge kernel, we could ask
the submitter to test that binary and get it uploaded if it's good.
