For 21264a CPU, I have compiled a kernel with -mcpu=ev56, however it 
also shows kernel panics and errors like "internal compiler error: 
Segmentation fault" during a kernel compile.  Frequency of the 
"internal compile error" increased for a kernel with ev56 flag, 
comparing with a kernel with no extra flag.

Why do you use -mno-soft-float? Did you omit a default flag 
-mno-fp-regs (-msoft-float), when you use -mno-soft-float? Kernel FAQ 
says -msoft-float have advantages for kernel performance...
