But it does invent it, that's the problem! "ld" should just use the default ABI
for the platform, the same as all the other tool use. Not inventing up
"soft-float" for some unknown reason.

> The emulation says nothing about the ABI

Exactly my point. It's unlike armel/armhf so there's NO WAY of specifying
double-float on command line! One more reason why "ld" should use the default
ABI flag on the platform!

Look, no matter what you say, "ld" producing output that's incompatible with
other tools' outputs of the same binutils package, is just bad. Very bad. It is
a bug, and a terrible user experience nontheless which should be fixed.

If "as" is capable of figuring out double-float from a single "ret"
instruction, then "ld" surely could use the same double-float for binary files
(which is just use the default ABI, btw).

Cheers,
bzt
