arm-linux-gcc-3.1, problem linking the linux kernel (hardware FP usage in libgcc.a)

Hi all,

I successfully built a cross compiler for the target arm-linux using gcc 3.1 
(released source tarball), however I have a problem when compiling the linux 
kernel:

on linking the kernel, the linker complains that libgcc.a uses hardware FP, 
while the linux kernel does not. The machine (TI DSC21) has no FPU, so I 
cannot enable the linux kernel to use it. How do I disable the FPU usage in 
libgcc.a?

The documentation says that the --nfp configure option has no effect on ARM 
targets, what else could I do?

please Cc me in replies, I'm not subscribed to this list.

regards,
	matze
