Hi,
I experienced this trying to compile a uClinux arm kernel with arm-elf-gcc
3.3.3. The kernel link will complain that libgcc.a uses hard float while linux
kernel uses soft-floats. arm-elf-objdump -p shows that the linux object files
have the SOFTFLOAT flag while libgcc doesnt. Linux CFLAGS include "-msoft-
float", but I believe libgcc was compiled without this flag but the default is
soft float anyway. The problem is that gas doesnt receive the correct flags
when called.
The following simple patch to gcc solved my particular issue:
### soft float patch

#define SUBTARGET_ASM_FLOAT_SPEC "\
-%{mapcs-float:-mfloat} %{msoft-float:-mno-fpu}"
+%{mapcs-float:-mfloat} %{!mhard-float:-mfpu=softfpa} %{mhard-float:-mfpu=fpa}"
#endif
#ifndef ASM_SPEC
##### End patch
However I found a more complete patch and analysis of the problem by Nick
Clifton in the archives:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-04/msg00593.html
Apparently, theres no bug filed for this, nor the patch made it into the 3.3
branch.
I also believe that one work around would be to remove the -msoft-float from
the linux CFLAGS, although I patched my gcc first so I didnt really test.
Thanks

Fixed in 3.5.0 (the current mainline) and on the csl-arm-branch which is based on 3.4.0 by:
Merge from csl-arm-branch.

Is there any chance this could be fixed in 3.3.x or 3.4 branches ?
Thanks

Most likely not as this is a merge in from a branch, just use the branch for a compiler based on 3.4.0
which is stable, codesourcery is the ones doing the branch and supports ARM in this case.
