There are two arm abis as you probably know, the "oabi" and "eabi". The
original 1.1.x port by Naulls for some reason didn't make its way into
the 2.0 codeline even though it was in the 1.1.x one. 

I updated it to work again with the bridge changes made during the 2.x.y
codeline and remerged it back in and fixed up a few little things and
then extended it to also work for the eabi (soft-float). So those
updated uno bridges are back in to OOH680, i.e. the up and coming 2.4.0
version. 

I did the port and testing on qemu with debian for oabi arm and fedora
for eabi arm. qemu doesn't emulate arm hardware alignment issues I
believe, so you may need to build on a real arm and do some testing to
see if there are any outstanding alignment problems. But for testing
purposes the installsets of the first development versions of the new
eabi port and updated oabi port are still available from 
http://ooo.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/cws/upload/armeabiport01/
and
http://ooo.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/cws/upload/armoabiport01/
Though I would reccommend you build your own 2.4.0 OOH680_mX candidate
from scratch for real testing, e.g. I built the armeabi one with java
disabled, but since those install sets were created gcj for arm-eabi has
since become available so the java components should now be possible to
build.
