Doesn't that imply that the tools for PPC405 should already be using soft
float?
Everyone is scurrying around figuring out how to rebuild tools with soft
float, but it looks like that should be the default already, and so far no
one has presented any code which confirms that the exception was actually
caused by using a floating point register.

Shouldn't looking at the instructions to see if that is a feasible
explanation be the first step?
