The problem is not the FPU operations, but the fact that soft-float
and hard-float compiled code is linked together. The soft-float and
hard-float ABIs on powerpc are not compatible, so one ends up with
an object file which is partially soft-float and partially hard-float
compiled and thus uses different ABIs. That can only create chaos,
so the linker complains about it.
