config/target: add float support selection

Changeset #149c33923f47 broke the architectures that do not
support the --with-float=X ./configure flag (in gcc). For example,
x86_64 does not support it.

Add a new blind config option that architectures can set to tell
they support floating point selection.

     3 reporter_comment="This is a sample config file for Freescale e500v2 processors (e.g., MPC8548,
     4 MPC8572). It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent gcc (4.6.0,
     5 for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate dual-precision
     6 floating point instructions by default.

     8 Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to make
     9 sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE ABI/instructions
    10 from getting into the kernel (which is currently unsupported). At this time,
    11 the kernel build system properly passes those two options, but older kernels
    12 were only passing -mno-spe by default."
