       * config/arm/linux-eabi.h (GLIBC_DYNAMIC_LINKER): Pick the loader
       using a spec rule.

Michael,

can you try this patch please.  It should make it possible to then
create linux-eabihf.h containing just

#undef TARGET_DEFAULT_FLOAT_ABI
#define TARGET_DEFAULT_FLOAT_ABI ARM_FLOAT_ABI_HARD
#undef GLIBC_DYNAMIC_LINKER_DEFAULT
#define GLIBC_DYNAMIC_LINKER_DEFAULT GLIBC_DYNAMIC_LINKER_HARD_FLOAT

Which is not quite as simple as leaving out the second re-define, but
pretty close.


Hi Richard.  Your patch tests just fine.  I like it.  You could change
the spec rule to the newer if-elseif-else form but that's a nit.

So who owns creating the appropriate glibc patch now that we've got a good gcc patch?
