>Description:

	While building an o4p wonka I get

	/usr/bin/ld: Error: strlen.o uses FPA instructions, whereas /home/nick/work/wonka/trees/o4p/open-wonka/build-arm-netbsd/wonka/bin/wonka uses VFP instructions

	strlen is built using as(1).

>How-To-Repeat:
	$ echo > foo.c
	$ cc -S foo.c
	$ as -o foo.o foo.s
	$ objdump -x foo.o | grep "float format"
	private flags = 0: [APCS-32] [FPA float format]
>Fix:
	tweak gnu/dist/toolchain/gas/config/tc-arm.c?
