This patch, against ARM/hard_vfp_4_4_branch, removes an obsolete paragraph
from the -mfloat-abi documentation. Since the branch supports
-mfloat-abi=hard for VFP, the paragraph is no longer accurate there. OK
to commit to the branch?

-Using @option{-mfloat-abi=hard} with VFP coprocessors is not supported.
-Use @option{-mfloat-abi=softfp} with the appropriate @option{-mfpu} option

The default depends on the specific target configuration. Note that
the hard-float and soft-float ABIs are not link-compatible; you must
compile your entire program with the same ABI, and link with a
