All,
It looks like the mips assembly code doesn't ifdef out the floating point loads and store if there is a soft and you get the expected unsupported opcode error.

It looks like the ABI determines that the that hard float is not available, but the assembly always includes the instructions. I checked the github and didn't find a patch for this - is it a known issue or suppose to be solve in another fashion. The arm appears to use a #ifdef for the floating point instructions.
Thanks in advance,
Charles
