The entry in build.sh for EABI hpcarm is currently:

MACHINE=hpcarm          MACHINE_ARCH=earm       ALIAS=hpcearm

An IPAQ kernel built with these tools doesn't boot, one built with
MACHINE_ARCH=earmv4 does.

An IPAQ kernel built with MACHINE_ARCH=earm tools and an extra option
of CPUFLAGS="-mcpu=strongarm1110" also boots.

I haven't tried a userland yet.

I guess I could take it on, StrongARM is my original work area.
