The target triplet we use for CLANG35 and CLANG38 specifies a
hardfloat target, and so the binaries that are emitted are
annotated as using VFP registers for passing floating point
arguments, even though no VFP is used anywhere in the code.

This works fine as long as we don't try to link against code
that uses software floating point, since combining object files
with different floating point calling conventions is not permitted.

So switch to the softfloat arm-linux-gnueabi triplet instead.
Unfortunately, this requires all CLANG3x/ARM users to install
another cross toolchain.

Ard:
  So, this change requires ARM users to install the additional tool chain? If yes, could you list the detail impact to user?

Thanks

As mentioned in the commit log

but in fact, you only need arm-linux-gnueabi binutils, so I will
update that. Could you elaborate on what level of detail you had in
mind beyond that?
