With the old ABI, binaries compiled with hard float cannot be linked
with those compiled with soft float so you need an entire new set of
libraries too. For example, FP function parameters and return values
are passed in FPU registers. Read the wiki page I pointed at

The usual way: divide the problem space in two, devise a test that
tells you which half the problem lies in. Repeat :)
