For dct-test (yes I know it is not a benchmark) on a arm926ejs svn 
implementation got 126.7 kdct/s, your 154.6 kdct/s.

Could you list the integration problem that remains ?
For the alignement stack, may be for old eabi you could use ldm/stm 
instead of double load/store instruction but still use double load/store 
instruction on EABI.

For memory pool, why don't you do only one memory pool ?
With a good packing, this could avoid lot's of balign.

Do you benchmark the improvement by using double load/store instruction. 
My manual (DDI0222B_9EJS_r1p2.pdf) say that for arm9js :
- The LDRD instruction behaves in the same way as an LDM of two registers.
- The STRD instruction behaves in the same way as an STM of two registers.
