C code, compiled with -msoft-float, is very common on MIPS, whether or
not it's a "default configuration".
Obviously, if we have to choose, shipping a compiler that works with
software floating-point C programs on MIPS is much more important than
shipping a compiler that works with Fortran.
Of course, we'd rather not have to choose.
