What kinds of errors are you getting?  Are they all float related?  If
the linux C libs are using -float-abi=hard, then softfp probably won't
help. 

If you do decide to look at softfp, I have this commit to get the D
versions correct:

https://github.com/smolt/ldc/commit/5a19080

Without that change, -float-abi=softfp sets version ARM_Soft instead of
ARM_SoftFP so std.math ends up incorrectly taking non-FPU paths.

Looks useful.
