The binutils have some serious problems; it is not too  difficult  to
send them into infinite loops crerating infinite output images.

Now this has a much simpler reason: we don;t support FP in U-Boot  at
all,  so  it  is missing completely from the printf() implementation,
too. This has nothing to do with the -msoft-float flag being used  or
not.
