For the softfp context, what does the likes of the following
show?

# readelf -h /usr/bin/uname | grep "Flags:"
  Flags:                             0x5000400, Version5 EABI, VFP

The "4" indicates the VFP status EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_HARD. Does it show:

Flags:                             0x5000200, Version5 EABI, soft-float ABI

? (The "2" indicates soft-float ABI. EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_SOFT)

Does it show some other combination of bits?
