Good Morning,

In reviewing the issue of what to with --with-fpu when the soft float option is selected I think the gcc manual provided an answer I just did not see

This specifies what floating-point hardware (or hardware emulation) is 
available on the target.



Even when there is no floating point hardware, there is emulation. The following is a snippet from a kernel config for a Versatilepb board:

#
# Floating point emulation
#

#
# At least one emulation must be selected
#
CONFIG_FPE_NWFPE=y
# CONFIG_FPE_NWFPE_XP is not set
# CONFIG_FPE_FASTFPE is not set
CONFIG_VFP=y

I compiled gcc with --with-fpu=vfp and it successfully compiled. It appears that if a fpu is not specified that there a cpu dependant defaults - the following articles lists them - http://www.keil.com/support/man/docs/armcc/armcc_CIHGDBHC.htm
