Google? :-P

But from some of the links that I've found or people have pointed out
on #fedora-arm

http://wiki.debian.org/ArmHardFloatTodo
http://cygwin.com/ml/libc-ports/2009-04/msg00020.html
http://www.linux-archive.org/debian-dpkg/395698-armelfp-new-architecture-name-armel-variant.html

There's also some details on both the MeeGo and Linaro wiki's that
cover the direction that Ubuntu and MeeGo are taking.
