This is a problem with the gcc/binutils toochain, which doesn't handle
-msoft-float the way we want it. The error you're seeing isn't really
one, since neither the U-Boot code nor the quoted functions in
libgcc.a actually use FP instructions. It's only the ELF binary tags
that don't match.
I'm not sure. I don't know for certain for ARM, but on  other  archi-
tectures  GCC  will  happily  generate FP instructions for example to
perform fast memory copy operations (like when  assigning  structures
of the "right" size).
