FYI, see the discussion: <https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/14505/>,
and the original patch: <https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/14465/>.

My advice has been to stick `$(call cc-option,-mno-float,-msoft-float)'
there instead, although there might be a slight controversy around it, so
if you are happy with revisiting Guenter's change in the future, then you
may well pick the original patch.

Myself, I don't have resources available right now to submit a revised
patch, sorry.
