If I understand what's going on correctly here, we support exceptions in the
soft float ABI when built with hardware floating point instructions, but
otherwise we don't (we're always round nearest). I believe that means we need
to set "with_fp_cond=1" when building with hardware floating point (regardless
of ABI), and "with_fp_cond=0" otherwise.
Does this look sane?
Yes, but it needs to go along with having a nofpu sysdeps directory or
directories with an Implies file or files pointing to ieee754/soft-fp
(make sure that the soft-float configurations do end up with
ieee754/soft-fp before other ieee754 directories in their sysdeps
directory ordering).

OK, we'll remove them for the v3.
To be clear, abi-*-condition variables are still needed (used in
generating gnu/lib-names.h, for example); it's just abi-*-options that are
obsolete.
