Ah, interesting.  The kernel config has

# CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT is not set

...certainly a lot easier to find when you know what you're looking
for.

@Danny: I'm wondering if we could (should?) try a kernel with OABI
compatibility?  I suppose it would be better to somehow target
EABI...but I'm not sure that's possible with glibc-2.2.5 / gcc-2.95.3.
Interesting choices here!
