what is __eabi in main()

I have built a powerpc cross compiler with eabi.  I notice that main
calls __eabi.  It apparently sets up the eabi environment (what ever
that means).  I have seen some startup code stub the __eabi so that it
returns straight away.  Is this safe ?  How important is the eabi
environment ?
