Sounds reasonable to me. I could test that on PowerPC e500v2 which is
an architecture which requires glibc to be configured with "--without-fp"
to build.

I actually always wondered why this option had to be passed to configure
instead of just letting it check the build environment itself and configure
the option accordingly.
