+ * default, so we also need to pass -msoft-float along to GAS if it supports it.
+ * But this in turn causes assembler errors in files which access hardfloat
+ * registers.  We detect if GAS supports "-msoft-float" in the Makefile and
+ * explicitly put ".set hardfloat" where floating point registers are touched.
