that's handled in

"callconvention-hard", True, False, d) is_package_hardfp =
d.getVar("PACKAGE_FP_TYPE", True) == "hardfp"

        if is_package_hardfp != is_machine_hardfp:
                PN = d.getVar("PN", True)
                PV = d.getVar("PV", True)
                bb.debug(1, "Skipping %s (%s) as machine and package
        float-point does not match" % (PN, PV)) raise
        bb.parse.SkipPackage("Package Float-Point is not compatible
        with the machine") }
