I'm not sure about those. I recall use gcc 3.4.3 that supported EABI 
without issues.
Besides that I don't recall any issues with GCC 4.x that it can't build 
the kernel floating point emulation code.
Do you have pointers for such issues?

I recommend cross compiling a kernel with GCC 4.x toolchains and trying 
it yourself.

Just make sure that EABI is supported by the kernel, since you are using 
LK 2.6.17.x then you should be ok.
Afterwards read and follow the details on -
