At least to my mind, it shouldn't be, either.

If you're building a soft-float system, you should build a compiler
and build glibc that uses soft-float.  There's no well-defined place
for soft-float multilibs to go.

(compare with n32/n64, which have well-defined places in the file
system to live when installed together with o32.  There's no such
place for soft-float.)
