Yeah, I remember that from the big argument back in oe-core, but what's 
lacking in all that is any revelation of exactly how to do that.

The poky build using meta-ti's BSP for beaglebone puts gcc and 
gcc-runtime into cortexa8t2hf-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi which AFAICT 
is supposed to be hard-float.

-mfloat-abi=hard is being passed when gcc-runtime is built, and when the 
application is built.

What toolchain-build or runtime-build enables hardfloat if that isn't 
already being done?
