To say the least :-) I don't really want to blame it on any particular
package (ie. gcc or binutils), but it's definitely weird to talk about
hardware FP in case of routines doing integer calculation...

Not at all, actually.

See my other posts on the matter. The patch in question makes GCC call
the AS with cpu=xscale. With good reason it seems, as the softfloat
routines don't compile with anything less. So I believe that patch is
only suitable for --with-cpu=xscale gcc's.
