Yes, it doesn't require Thumb.  Are you sure that your userspace really
is compiled for EABI and not OABI?

That sounds rather like some part of your userspace has been built with
hard-fpa floating point.  FPA is basically incompatible with EABI (and I
think all extant EABI configs in OE are soft-float) so this would also
indicate that you are actually using OABI.

Right.
