No, it's not in any 2.4 kernels AFAIK, but it is in 2.6.18 and later.
  Note there are two options when configuring the kernel.  I forget
the exact wording, but basically you can have "eabi with oabi
compatability" or "all eabi".  Choose the first when you are making
the transition in your distro and may have some oabi binaries around
still.  Choose the latter when you've made the switch.  You need the
"all eabi" to get the full speed benefits; "oabi compatability" in the
kernel carries a slight speed penalty.

I saw that, but have not tested any of it.  I would prefer to use
upstream kernels if possible, and for a toolchain I've had good luck
with codesourcery (2006Q3, I think).

To answer your $subject, yes, I've used Lennert's (pre)debian rootfs
and packages, but only via NFSroot.  I've not used any of the more
recent debian ports or installers.
