Right, so -mfloat-abi=softfp generates binaries which use compatible
calling conventions but do require a VFP.

I don't think we want this; instead we should rather optimize libs and
programs to select VFP at runtime if available or provide alternate
packages for VFP versus non VFP systems.  One obvious candidate is libc.

I wonder whether it's possible and useful to build a libgcc which
implements soft float computations with the FPU?  That would seem like a
good thing to do to optimize all soft float calls on systems which have
a FPU.
