[From: smartkenny]

Hi, Eero and Andrew,

I contacted with Daniël who is a FPC developer, and he want to ask the 
following questions:

Can you ask them what the different between EABI and normal cdecl calling 
convention is? Obviously, since GTK is C code, all interfacing to it is 
expected to have cdecl calling convention.

We support for ARM:
 - Cdecl
 - CPPcdecl - same as cdecl but with different name mangling
 - Stdcall
 - Stdcall with floating point numbers handled like equal integers (called 
   softfloat by us).

Greetings,

Daniël
