The glibc API has to be the same across all archs.  It is not acceptable

not apply and you have to fix that code to comply.

I don't know that people who use these processors actually *want* this level of software FP support, given the fact that it would likely be bigger and slower.

But, you've made clear this isn't a topic for discussion here. Fine.
