The patch is needed for a toolchain configured with old ABI (oabi) and
soft float
as old abi is stale and obsolete upstream gcc has no interest in this
patch. that said
you dont need it if you do not build oabi toolchains. Most of stuff
these days use eabi
and eabi toolchains dont require it. Does ct-ng supprt oabi toolchains ?
I kind of think what Arnaud asked was correct thing due dilligence
when forward porting
old patches is a good thing.

on the other hand sending the patch to ml for review was also the
right thing too.
