Any configure script that infers the ABI from the target triplet is fundamentally broken. It is wrong to assume that arm-eabi is soft-float and arm-hf-eabi uses the VFP ABI. We may decide to make this assumption hold within Debian (thought even that is somewhat questionable if you consider multiarch systems), but is definitely not true outside those constraints Paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
