I don't think it's as simple as this.  The ABI supports three variants, 
two of which are call compatible.

hard-float (where you must have hardware FP)
soft (where you haven't got any hardware FP)
softfp (where you have hardware FP but need to inter-operate with code 
that doesnt).

soft and softfp are call compatible and so any jump-bufs created need to 
support saving and restoring the FP context.

I guess a configure-time option to disable support for softfp might be 
an option, but the default needs to ensure things are compatible.

R.
