i glanced through the binutils sources recently and couldnt actually find 
anywhere that the option was utilized ...

--nfp sets the 'with_fp' variable to 'no' in all the configure scripts, but 
'with_fp' doesnt seem to be checked at any point

ive been doing softfloat arm recently and havent had to do anything different 
with binutils to have it work properly compared to hardfloat arm ...
