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.

     5     ARM: reorder "Use BX" option
     6     
     7     "Use BX" is not available on all CPUs, so the option depends on
     8     a correct CPU to be chosen . It is weird that e BX" then appears
     9     _above_ the CPU selection, not below.
    10     
    11     Move the "Use BX" after the CPU selection.
