I don't think this is strictly true: there shouldn't be any particular
reason why OABI and EABI binaries couldn't coexist on the same
filesystem.  Of course, you would need to have both sets of runtimes
installed (ld.so and libc at a mininum, plus whatever other libraries
are needed by your apps) so this would not be completely trivial to
arrange, but I can't think of anything that would impose a hard
requirement for everything on the system to be using the same ABI.
