Oh, I guess you're right - I think I misread VFP as VFP3 in the OP's post.

@OP: softfloat (as opposed to softfp) is not supported.  In theory,
it'd be possible for V8 to emit library calls rather than VFP
instructions but in practice it doesn't.  Making it softfloat
compatible would be a fair amount of work, I think.
