It is used by the linux kernel, but they also explicitly do not use
float/double types.  If you have float/double types in your source code and
compile for 64-bit using -msoft-float, I could guess that you would run into
some of the assumptions in the 64-bit backend that floating point hardware is
always available.  It's just a guess though, without knowing what the insn /
operand you're having problems with looks like.
