Both Linux and NetBSD mandate a particular floating point architecture as 
part of their ABI.  Having gas select a different one because the user 
wants better performance on a particular CPU is incorrect.  This patch 
makes gas respect the OS ABI preference over the -mcpu option.  It's still 
possible to force a different floating point format with -mfpu=...

	* tc-arm.c (FPU_DEFAULT, case TE_LINUX): Default to FPU_ARCH_FPA.
	(FPU_DEFAULT, case TE_NetBSD): Default to FPU_ARCH_VFP for ELF,
	FPU_ARCH_FPA for AOUT.
	(md_begin): Don't try to guess the floating point architecture from
	the CPU if the OS ABI (Linux, NetBSD) mandates a particular form.
