This is an updated version of a patch Debian and Ubuntu are using to use an alternate linker path for hardfloat binaries. The difference with this one is that it covers the case where no float flag was passed in, defaulting to the softfloat path.

Looks to me as though this will break the old Linux ABI. While we've marked that as deprecated, it hasn't been removed as yet. So I think this patch either needs to wait until that removal has taken place, or provide the relevant updates to maintain the old ABI support.
