I can confirm that mipsel-linux is not multi-libed for msoft-float.

At least to my mind, it shouldn't be, either.

If you're building a soft-float system, you should build a compiler
and build glibc that uses soft-float.  There's no well-defined place
for soft-float multilibs to go.

(compare with n32/n64, which have well-defined places in the file
system to live when installed together with o32.  There's no such
place for soft-float.)

There should, however be an easy way to build a cross to a non-multilibbed soft-float system.  I'm not clear from this report whether *that* is a 
problem.

Well, as far as I know, we don't support a -msoft-float version of
mips-linux-gnu.

Sounds like mipsel-uClibc uses soft-floats.

It works, though.  Try --with-float=soft.

I've tried building GCC 3.3.1 with --with-float=soft. I receive NAN's as output
in the binaries, too. Modifying config/t-linux seems to fix the problems.

GCC 3.3.1 doesn't support --with-float=soft.  Try CVS HEAD.

So does --with-float=soft works on 3.4.0 and above?
