Eek, can you say a bit more about the ARM EABI mismatch?

I would like to run a shiny modern ARM EABI kernel and userspace, but
also need to run one or two OABI binaries (from the gcc 2.95 era) on
the same kernel which I cannot recompile because they're built with
closed source libraries only supplied as OABI.

Does that not work at all?

If it does work, which part of userspace must be EABI to work?

Thanks,
