Hello,

So we were already passing --with-softfloat when BR2_SOFT_FLOAT=y. So
what your option brings is:

 - Ability to use floating point operations when BR2_SOFT_FLOAT=y.

 - Ability to not use floating point operations when BR2_SOFT_FLOAT is
   disabled.

Do you have any actual use for such possibilities ?

Thanks,

Thomas
