In gcc-3.4.2-glibc-2.3.3-linux-2.6.8 (from crosstool-0.28-rc37) using

export KERNELCONFIG=`pwd`/arm.config
export TARGET=arm-softfloat-linux-gnu
export TARGET_CFLAGS="-O"
export GCC_EXTRA_CONFIG="--with-float=soft"
export GLIBC_EXTRA_CONFIG="--without-fp"
export BINUTILS_DIR=binutils-2.15
export GCC_DIR=gcc-3.4.2
export GLIBC_DIR=glibc-2.3.3
export LINUX_DIR=linux-2.6.8
export GLIBCTHREADS_FILENAME=glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.3

I get

$ arm-softfloat-linux-gnu-gcc -dM -E -xc /dev/null  | grep SOFTFP
#define __SOFTFP__ 1
$ arm-softfloat-linux-gnu-gcc -dM -E -xc -msoft-float /dev/null  | grep SOFTFP
#define __SOFTFP__ 1
