On gcc 3.3.x --with-float=soft does nothing.  If you are using a MIPS32 
ISA processor you can configure it with --target=mipsisa32[el]-linux to 
get soft float and MIPS32 ISA by default.

But even better would be to use gcc 3.4.x or 4.0.x where 
--with-float=soft works.  I would also recommend binutils 2.16.1 or 
above as there are some severe bugs in the mips linker in earlier versions.
