Check how the startup files (crt0.o, crtbegin.o) were compiled.  The linker 
will choose the settings of the various float-format-in-use and ABI-in-use 
flags from the values set in the first object file it encounters on its command 
line.  (You can use the -v option to gcc so see the command line that it is 
using to invoke the linker).

Make sure that these start up files are compiled by the same compiler as your 
file.o and with the same set of command line options.

Cheers
