There have been so many changes between 1.1.2  and  1.1.4  that  it's
difficult  to  tell  which specific change causes the problem, but if
you check the "make" output you can clearly see where the problem  is
coming  from  - your compiler fails to provide the required softfloat
routines. Which is kind of funny, since there are  not  so  many  ARM
systems with FPU around.

My recommendation is to fix the toolchain.

Best regards,

I am pleased to see that we have differences.  May we together become
greater than the sum of both of us.
