Thanks to all who have responded so far. Thanks to Martin for the
-mfloat-abi=softfp option as that could be useful to us.

The first release candidate for GCC 4.4.3 is available from
ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/snapshots/4.4.3-RC-20100116
and shortly its mirrors. It has been generated from SVN revision 155960.
I have so far bootstrapped and tested the release candidate on
x86_64-linux and i686-linux. Please test
