I don't need no stinkin' "hello, world" program to
demo this:

# touch a.c
# arm-linux-gcc -malignment-traps -mapcs-32 -c a.c
# armv5b-softfloat-linux-gcc -malignment-traps -mapcs-32 -c a.c
cc1: error: invalid option 'alignment-traps'
cc1: error: invalid option 'apcs-32'

The (abreviated) versions

# arm-linux-gcc --version
arm-linux-gcc (GCC) 3.2.1

# armv5b-softfloat-linux-gcc --version
armv5b-softfloat-linux-gcc (GCC) 4.0.1

The options chosen to compile the empty "a.c" file
are those chosen by the "linux-2.6.x/arch/arm/Makefile" .
