Re: glibc for ARM with VFP hard float


It looks like I can answer the question myself. Maybe that will be helpful
for someone.
The following is valid at least for crosstool-NG v.1.5.2:
To make glibc using native floating point instructions one needs to add one
extra flag to the configuration:
C-library -> extra target CFLAGS 

-mfloat-abi=softfp

That is it.
