All of them except the csb337 which doesn't build for another reason.

arm_bare_bsp -msoft-float
armulator -msoft-float
csb336 -msoft-float
edp7312 -msoft-float
vegaplus -msoft-float

Hmmmm.. gcc-3.3.5/config/arm/t-arm-elf comments out a LOT
of MULTILIB_MATCHES entries.  Any idea why?

This is a linking error due to multilib mismatch as best I can tell.
