Whatever default your compiler does.

$ file /usr/lib/ure/lib/libuno_sal.so.3 
/usr/lib/ure/lib/libuno_sal.so.3: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped

Nothing per default, yes, though. (Debioan armel targets armv4t anyway,
afaicr)

Even if you were right, how does it matter? OOo also is optimized
"only" for pentiumpro on i386. And if you wished, you can optimize
for whatever ARM you see fit.

Wrong. I tried it on my SheevaPlug, and it's "quite" usable.
