If you bought a cross-compiler from a vendor, you should contact them
first.

What precisely do you mean when you say that the compiler does not
support the -msoft-float option?  What happens when you use it?

A normal gcc cross-compiler for MIPS will support -msoft-float.  If
your vendor modified that somehow, then you need to talk to them, not
to us.
