New Revision: 287167
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/287167

Log:
  After consultations with the arm community, don't define softfp for
  armv6. It's too ambiguous. We do use the softfp ABI for the moment on
  armv6, but we allow floating point register use (and the compilers
  will generate it). This is too ambiguous to use it as a decider for
  which algorithms to use on the platform. Err on the side of caution
  and not define it.
