Did you try adding -mhard-float to TARGET_CFLAGS in arm.dat before
building crosstool?

Also, for completeness, can you tell us the exact version of
crosstool you're using, and the exact commands you use to
build crosstool and a tiny test app demonstrating the problem?

Maybe I should add demo-arm-hardfloat/arm-hardfloat.dat with the -mhard-float
setting to crosstool, so others will have an easier time of this?
