To use this you need GCC version 4.0.0 or later.

+ help
+ This option preserves the old syscall interface along with the
+ new (ARM EABI) one. It also provides a compatibility layer to
+ intercept syscalls that have structure arguments which layout
+ in memory differs between the legacy ABI and the new ARM EABI
+ (only for non "thumb" binaries). This option adds a tiny
+ overhead to all syscalls and produces a slightly larger kernel.
+ If you know you'll be using only pure EABI user space then you
+ can say N here. If this option is not selected and you attempt
+ to execute a legacy ABI binary then the result will be
+ UNPREDICTABLE (in fact it can be predicted that it won't work
+ at all). If in doubt say Y.
