ARM support for the hard-VFP ABI
- From: Daniel Jacobowitz <drow at false dot org>

- Subject: ARM support for the hard-VFP ABI
This patch, from Joseph Myers, implements the hardware VFP variant of
the ARM EABI (-mfloat-abi=hard in GCC, recently implemented).
It's been in our tree for several months, and I retested it on ARM
GNU/Linux before checking it in - it did need a minor update for the
return-nodebug tests.
