Yes, I did. It refers to problems associated with creating softfloat
toolchains for ARM cores supporting "Maverick Crunch" floating point
hardware, which are _very_much_ in the minority (only the Cirrus
Logic EP9312 as far as I know, which isn't even a supported 'Target
Architecture Variant' from buildroot's point of view...).
Certainly doesn't seem like a good reason to hold back on softfloat
for the rest of the ARM community...

No, binutils 2.17.50.0.8 has the same problem.
Although buildroot tries to configure binutils with
'--with-float=soft' binutils seems to silently ignore that option...
