Thanks very much for taking the time to look at this.  Sorry, but it
doesn't help. If you leave off the -mcpu=arm96ej-s option, than you
get an elf binary with floating point.

What I really need is instructions for building libgcc.a for arm w/o
any FP instructions in it, and especially, without the FP based
calling sequences.  In particular, why did this work in 3.4 but not
4.1?
