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.

     1 In memoriam: Cédric DUVAL.

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

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

     5 against the disease.

     7 Cédric was always prompt to discuss any subject. He was open-minded,

     8 and every thing on Earth was of interest to him; Free Software, and

     9 Freedom in general, was one of those interests we used to discuss

    10 about most. He and I had many a good talk about so many things, and

    11 I learned so much from him.

    13 Cédric leaves behind him loving and dismayed girl friend and father

    14 and mother, and countless saddened friends; we will all dearly miss

    15 him.

    17 Do not forget your towel, Cédric.

    18 So long, and thanks for all the fish!
