+Equivalent to @option{-msoft-float}, but additionally asserts that the

+This option is presently supported only by some bare-metal MIPS
+configurations, where it may select a special set of libraries
+that lack all floating-point support (including, for example, the

+If code compiled with @code{-mno-float} accidentally contains
