Well, I think this mostly depends on whether you want multiple multilib
ABIs in stages -- or if you assume that the toolchain is enough,
and people will build other ABIs as they need.
Though I think that once toolchain switches to abi_* flags (vapier
seems to show interest in that), we will use.force the necessary ABIs
on it and its dependencies, so there should be no explicit need for
change.
However, I guess the toolchain changes will be sent out for testing
anyway, so releng can check first hand.
I have taken a non-standard approach to the hardened/linux/uclibc
profiles where I do no inherit from arch. There was too much cruft in
arch, so I just mirror the relevant stuff including the abi flag
stuff. I understand my approach has pros/cons ...
but give out the should when
Sorry, my fingers and brains are not in sync. ... give out the SHOUT
when ...
the change is being tested and I'll see if I'm about to have any
breakage. I currently seed at least 12 different
arches/isa/abi/hard-soft float combinations which would be a pita to
fix manually on native (read slow) hardware.
