Hello,

Well it did exactly the thing you mentioned above. I used the -v flag to
see how gcc is calling ld and put the right -L Parameters (Which point to
the right libs for the architecture) into my Makefile and called ld
directly.  
The problem with my software floating point was surely not a problem with
linking. Anyway. As long as updating the compiler resolved my problem 
everything is allright.
