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 Attached is a patch to add __attribute__ ((noinline)) to
     5 call_gmon_start.
     6 
     7 Without this patch, the sec script that processed initfini.s removes a
     8 part of inlined call_gmon_start, causing undefined label errors.
     9 
    10 This patch solves the problem by forcing gcc not to inline
    11 call_gmon_start with __attribute__ ((noinline)).
    12 
    13 Tested by building for arm-none-lixux-gnueabi.  OK to apply?
