It does all seem rather confusing w.r.t. options:
- mhard-float is hard FPA
- msoft-float is soft FPA
- no option specified is soft VFP

Also, the gcc 3.4.[01] default, when no options are specified, is to
use FPA on all ELF platforms except NetBSD.  Are you sure you want to
be changing that?

BTW, Why are you forcing mcpu=xscale if no mcpu is specified?  This
would seem like you're introducing a bug, no?

The gcc/config/arm/t-linux hunk might seem submitworthy, but I don't
know enough about gcc internals to say anything sensible about that.


cheers,
