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 If gcc is configured to generate i686 code or better by default (like
     2 when using the --with-arch=pentium3 configure option), then the __i686
     3 macro will always be defined automatically and thus screw up the
     4 compilation of some .S files.
