We can do so, that would mean that we don't use hard floating point instructions
inside the soft fp ABI anymore.

It sounds sane to me, however, I do not know if we have limited us here on 
puropose.

Some other compilation errors may come back, because the soft FP support may 
not be
good enough.

Question is how many armv5 with and without fpu unit are out there.

Does it make sense to limit us to the ones with hard fpu ? Or would an armv5 
port 
make no sense at all then ?
