  Have you tried "make CFLAGS=-msoft-float" as well as configuring with
--nfp ?  If that works, you'll have a no fpu libc, which you can install 
into the nof subdir of $prefix/$target/lib.  Then you'd want to reconfigure
without the --nfp flag, do a build without the -msoft-float flag, and put
it into the $prefix/$target/lib/fpu subdir.  I think the point of Kai's 
explanation was that if you had newlib, the gcc build process would make
all the multilib variants for you and install them in the right places, but
since glibc doesn't do that, you have to build the various multilib variants
manually.
