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.

     4 	With latest versions of glibc, a lot of apps failed on a PaX enabled
     5 	system with:
     6 		 cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Permission denied
     7 	
     8 	This is due to PaX 'exec-protecting' the stack, and ld.so then trying
     9 	to make the stack executable due to some libraries not containing the
    10 	PT_GNU_STACK section.  Bug #32960.  <azarah@gentoo.org> (12 Nov 2003).
    11 
    12 	Patch also NPTL. Bug #116086. <kevquinn@gentoo.org> (20 Dec 2005).
