Or remove the (unneccessary) "-msoftfloat" from your "cpu/<cpu>/config.mk" 
file.
Works for me and is much easier than "fixing" the toolchain.

My "buildroot" at ftp://at91dist:distrib@81.80.104.162/ -> AT91 third 
party -> Linux-host -> Source
will do what you want.

Download buildroot 2007-04-20
create /tftpboot and /usr/local/arm and make sure you can write to them
as an ordinary user.

$ make B=at91sam9260dfc board
$ make

This will generate everything you need for running the AT91SAM9260EK
from a dataflashcard (I.E SPI0.CS0).
You will have to fix a few things if you want to run from a SPI0.CS1.

My U-boot 1.2.0 version does not detect NAND flash properly.
