I support deleting the soft-float multilib; it can't be used as-is because it requires its own libc, in its own sysroot, and the configuration doesn't use a separate sysroot for it. As for -mstrict-align, again if someone wants -mstrict-align libraries I think they should set up a multilib using that option (or a CPU option that implies it) rather than trying to make the libraries from a compiler configured for some CPU compatible with another CPU they wouldn't normally be compatible with. -- Joseph S.
