[Linaro-dev] Discussion on new ARM hard-float port on debian-arm@

[Hector Oron]

Hello,

Because A9 benefits from `softfp` which it is compatible with `soft`.
In theory, hard floating point (incompatible with soft*) should not be
much of a win over softfp on A9 cores which much better structured
pipeline.

Loïc and other have kindly start working on a wiki page that might be
of interest for you too.
