With which compiler ? Claudiu implemented __builtin_trap recently so ARC builds
should not get abort() but a trap 5 instruction instead.

I understand the case/need for adding a weak/common abort() as a quick fix for
handling such cases, but perhaps we should not and instead fix the rootcause. In
this specific case, Claudiu mentioned that gcc was generating abort due to
something like this (flagging a possible divide by zero due to
-fno-isolate-erroneous-paths-dereference.
a;
fn1() {
switch (a)
case 0:
return 1 / a;
}
Sudeep can you confirm that removing this hacking FRV build to not have this
toggle fixes the abort issue.
So the offending code needs to be fixed as in the end when that code path is taken
system is hosed.
