There's a gcc 4.4.0 branch that supports 'hardfp' (finally!) and if 
you're in the to harry potter thing, CSL 2009q1 also supports it. And I 
still think people should be passing their preferred float-abi using 
cflags and cairo should stay out of abi-munging.
Maybe I'm tainted by working with mozilla code which hardcoded FPA 
behaviour and we had to wait 4 years for patches to land upstream since 
the mozilla people kept saying that there was no problem...
