No, I am saying that these options prevent U-Boot to be built
by most things except ELDK, and that removing the "-msoft-float"
should allow U-boot to be built by basically anything.

I also think that there is no reason to force someone to use
architecture specific tuning, but that U-boot should allow
for people to apply this.
