Hi - while it's possible to run some OABI user space programs on an EABI kernel 
compiled with OABI_COMPAT there are a number of caveats - the biggest one that 
affects iptables is the way data structures are passed from user space to the 
kernel using ioctl calls - compiling iptables statically doesn't help as 
iptables is a user space interface to kernel mode packet filter features. Only 
solution here is to run an EABI userland - any reason why you couldn't do that?
