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 older verisons of glibc would build dl-sysdep as shared-only and dl-support as

     2 static-only.  alpha hooks in a cache variable via dl-auxv.h.  newer versions of

     3 glibc build dl-sysdep as both shared and static which means we now have symbol

     4 duplication for static builds with dl-sysdep and dl-support.  since dl-sysdep

     5 is both shared/static, there is no point in hooking dl-support anymore, so we

     6 can punt it.
