Hi,

When running with build.sh I didn't have a mk.conf, rather, 
I just set MKSOFTFLOAT=YES in the environment first.

Therefore I don't know.  OTOH, this is the first crash is
the -Werror flag which is normally a good idea.

Which, unless the makefiles have changed alot, the -msoft-float 
flag should have been passsed to the c compiler.

For building packages you need to have -msoft-float passed to the 
C compiler.  Otherwise if the package does FP calculations it
will use the FP instructions and things won't work right.
