ARM defines two incompatible floating point ABIS that specify the functions calling conventions, whether to use integer registers (soft floating point ABI) or the floating point registers (hard floating point ABI). The compiler must be told which one to use and whether the hardware FPU may be used if present when the soft floating point ABI has been chosen. This last case is set with the command line option '-mfloat-abi=softfp'. The following two documents describe this feature in details: https://wiki.debian.org/ArmHardFloatPort/VfpComparison https://wiki.debian.org/ArmHardFloatPort The following command prints the command line options, including implicitly predefined ones of the clang compiler in android-ndk-r13b and shows that the default is '-mfloat-abi=soft' for armv7: $ ./clang -x c < /dev/null -dM -E - -target armv7-none-linux-androideabi -### Android clang version 3.8.256229 (based on LLVM 3.8.256229) Target: armv7-none-linux-android Thread model: posix InstalledDir: /opt/android-ndk/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/.
