This is a tool chain problem.  You should get one that supports
soft-FP, especially on processors that don;t have a FPU in the first
place.

GCC 3.4 has always been (in)famous for causing issues, especially on
ARM. And it is so old that you can consider it unsupported.

I guess you did not bother to check the mailing list archives?  You
should.
