Thanks, Matthew, that is exactly what I ended up doing. I sent Don my
recommendations for doing the same. I hope that it was somewhat helpful.

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?

EABI vs. OABI on the ARM platform, so I reconfigured iptables with
--enable-static and --disable-dynamic, since I think that there is not
an issue as long as iptables doesn't try to build linking to the
EABI-built kernel libraries. After rebuilding, I tried to run
"iptables -L" again and this time received a different error:
