This is indeed the problem which I see with the softfp patch for libc.
Andreas Jaeger did work on the softfp stuff in glibc 2.2.  I don't know it's
exact status but if for size reasons you want to stick with glibc 2.0 a
backport might be of interest?

Have the other tools - in particular binutils and gcc actually been modified
except maybe changing defaults?
