This means that libGPSEngine.a was compiled with a different compiler 
(at least, one with a different floating point setting). Just compile 
everything with the same compiler, and you should be good to go.

    Yes, Dimitry, libGPSEngine was compiled with MontaVista's own toolchain, 
what u suggested is certainly a feasible and safe way to solve my problem, so far.
    Now I wonder if I can achieve it by compiling with a compatible-configured toolchain, 
at least vfp-softfp format-compatible toolchain...like crosstool-0.42 . Is this possible? 
I am working on it....
