It appears that with recent versions of GCC the explicit
"-mhard-float" command line option takes precedence over the
``asm(".gnu_attribute 4, 2");'' in the source file, so this no longer
helps to avoid the warnings we get when linking code that uses FP
instructions with other code that was built using soft-float.
We can remove the ".gnu_attribute" (which appears to carry no other
information, at least so far) from the object files, but we also have
to make sure we don't pull in the __gcc_qsub() and __gcc_qmul()
functions from the standard libgcc, as these would again "infect" our
linking. We copy this code from:
gcc-4.2.2/gcc/config/rs6000/darwin-ldouble.c
This old version was chosen because it was still available under a
compatible license (GCC v2+). The file was stripped down to the
needed parts, and reformatted so it passes checkpatch with only one
warning (do not add new typedefs).
