mips64 softfloat or hardfloat?

["John D. Baker" <jdbaker%mylinuxisp.com@localhost>]

I recently tried again to build packages on my Lemote YeeLoong
(evbmips-mips64el), but was thwarted when the first dependency
("cwrappers") failed with:

The system is:

$ uname -a
NetBSD chalk.technoskunk.fur 7.99.67 NetBSD 7.99.67 (YEELOONG) #44: Mon Apr  3 08:19:03 CDT 2017  sysop%x3650.technoskunk.fur@localhost:/r1/build/current/obj/mips64el/sys/arch/evbmips/compile/YEELOONG evbmips


Clues?

Thanks.
