Wel the gcc in armhf has it off by default, and the description says
it makes the code larger. So since armhf is by choice thumb2 all the
time, why would it need interworking code for non thumb code it will
never encounter?
Doesn't the EABI also specify using softfp for float passing? Well armhf
explicitly chooses not to do that either for performance reasons.
It's the main point of the port in fact.

Well I just removed the option so it uses the default of gcc on armhf
like every other package.
