I think this is not correct. Even if your compiler is not configured
to generate soft-float by default, asking it to do so should cause no
harm.

Even if it's configured for NWFPE as default setting, it should still
be able to generate soft-float. 

And in the end, it should make no differece at all as we don't use FP
in U-Boot.
