arch: add softfp support

Some architectures support a mixed hard/soft floating point, where
the compiler emits hardware floating point instructions, but passes
the operands in core (aka integer) registers.

For example, ARM supports this mode (to come in the next changeset).

Add support for softfp cross compilers to the GCC and GLIBC
configuration. Needed for Ubuntu and other distros that are softfp.

This release is dedicated to my good friend, Cédric, who passed

away in late September 2011, after a long and stressful struggle

against the disease.

Cédric was always prompt to discuss any subject. He was open-minded,
yann@2715
     8
and every thing on Earth was of interest to him; Free Software, and
yann@2715
     9
Freedom in general, was one of those interests we used to discuss
yann@2715
    10
about most. He and I had many a good talk about so many things, and
yann@2715
    11
I learned so much from him.

and mother, and countless saddened friends; we will all dearly miss
yann@2715
    15
him.
