I tried arm-2005q3-2-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
and ts7800-crosstool-linux-gnueabi-2005q3-2.tar.gz from here-

ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-7800-linux-sd/cross-toolchains/

I don't think the Marvell chip in the 7800 has Maverick crunch, as
that was a Cirrus Logic specific FPU implementation.  Does the Marvell
chip have an FPU?

So far, I've only succeeded in clocking my code compiled natively on
the 7800.  I tried -msoft-float there, but got the following error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lfloat
