I've looked further into this and I think the original pre-#if version
is correct.

The float ABI comes from these places:
 * The -mfloat-abi= command line argument, else
 * The --with-float= configure time argument, else
 * TARGET_DEFAULT_FLOAT_ABI from linux-eabi.h

In the first case the ABI is explicit.  In the second
OPTION_DEFAULT_SPECS turns the configure time argument into an explict
-mfloat-abi=.

The patch below covers all cases, keeps the logic in the spec file,
and adds a comment linking the two #defines.

Tested by building with no configure flags, --wtih-float=softfp,
--with-float=hard, and then running with all combinations of
{,-mfloat-abi=softfp,-mfloat-abi=hard} {,-mglibc,-muclibc,-mbionic}.

OK?
