Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 4/9] arch/arm: do not allow soft-float for armv8a
Date: Mon, 4 Sep 2017 19:21:37 +0200 [thread overview]

Thomas, All,
On 2017-09-03 15:17 +0200, Yann E. MORIN spake thusly:

> allowing software floating point, even in 32-bit mode.
In fact, even though I'm pretty sure that OK in 64-bit, we might still
have a reason to do soft-float in 32-bit mode, if only for legacy
binary-only applications that were built as soft-float way back in the
(not so) good old days...
In which case, we should instead depend on !BR2_ARCH_IS_64.
Thoughts?
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
