qemuarmv5 uses tune-arm926ejs which uses armv5te, I think you would
need to use armv5te-vfp to reproduce this, or use qemuarm with
tune-cortexa15 but switch from default cortexa15thf-neon to
cortexa15t-neon

I was seeing it in multilib builds e.g. with
https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core-contrib/commit/?h=jansa/master&id=40e9c4744a7f1eb2d91af9539d69555d36dfba30
which uses DEFAULTTUNE:virtclass-multilib-lib32 = "armv7at-neon"

unfortunately just treating softfp as soft ends with segfaults in rust
as shown nere:

Regards,

I checked for softfp tuning using (which gave TARGET_FPU = softfp): TUNE_FEATURES = "vfp armv5te" DEFAULTTUNE = "armv5te-vfp" TUNE_PKGARCH = "armv5te-vfp" But, it seems that softfp is not a valid value for llvm-floatabi in rust. It gives error as follows: | --- stderr | error: Error loading target specification: 'softfp' is not a valid value for llvm-floatabi. Use 'soft' or 'hard'.. Run `rustc --print target-list` for a list of built-in targets As you mentioned, using soft instead of softfp also doesn't work either. It seems that unless upstream Rust provides support for this, we won't be able to build Rust with softfp on ARM targets. Regards, Yash.
