           Summary: Buildroot fails to account for "nof" subdirectory (no

I am using buildroot-2010.2 to target a 440GP processor with no hardware
floating point.

When software floating point is enabled (BR2_SOFT_FLOAT), the gcc build puts
libgcc_s.so, libstdc++.so, etc. in an "nof" subdirectory that buildroot is not
accommodating. These are deposited in

   $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/powerpc-linux-uclibc/lib/nof

but the toolchain/gcc/gcc-uclibc-4.x.mk makefile tries to copy these files from

   $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/powerpc-linux-uclibc/lib

which results in failure to copy the libraries to the target filesystem.

This is with GCC 4.3.4. I'm not sure if this applies to other versions as well.

As a workaround, I think I can enable floating point in the kernel, and then
enable hardware floating point in the toolchain.
