   With the most current glibc cvs tonight we still are building
soft-ftp on a G4 processor...

...etc...

also config.make still comes up with 'sysdeps/powerpc/soft-fp' in the list
of config-sysdirs even though it also shows...

Aldy, did you ever build your patches on a machine with an fpu to verify
that soft-fp isn't blindly used regardless?
