I don't think VxWorks has yet switched to EABI. In previous discussions on the gcc list I've suggested that the RTEMS configuration ought to switch, but it hasn't yet. If the BSDs are using EABI, their configurations in FSF GCC haven't been updated accordingly. (All the many RTOSes without special configurations in GCC may have switched from arm-elf to arm-eabi, of course.) -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
