Comment (by olli):

 Replying to [comment:6 Vincent.Riera@…]:
 > If I pass the "abi=o32" option as you suggested, it works. But the thing
 is that the build system should be smart enough to detect when I'm cross
 compiling and using the target's ABI instead of the host's ABI.

 this isn't trivial - I suspect that you can detect at runtime for which
 ABI your are compiling (you can have multiple like on MIPS)

 > That problem doesn't happen on other architectures. I have tried cross-
 compiling for powerpc and arm, and both of them worked fine.

 because the default is SYSV
