# HG changeset patch # User Michael Hope # Date 1318991252 -46800 # Node ID f320e22f2cba84bf052e9a36ab00138b95637857 # Parent 149c33923f476a7f6027f0db536b533c404ee7d2 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.
