rGf84135f69999: libsoft: Remove
Summary

libsoft was a transition from the FreeBSD/armv6 10 (and earlier) with
'softfp' ABI (that is, hardware float, but passed as integer registers)
to the 'hardfp' ABI that was in FreeBSD/armv[67] in FreeBSD 11 and
newer. It's been off by default for a while. It's time to retire it.

Does there need to be a set of ObsoleteFiles entries?

I don't think so. It's not in the tools/build/mk/OptionalObsoleteFiles.inc file today
and is obscure enough to not bother. And generating the list would be a huge pain.

Maybe wait for @stevek or @wma as IIRC one of them used it for some platform but I could be wrong.

Judging by the comment I do think this might be a GCC-only thing. I think it was originally a libsoft-only thing I had added it for lib32 for mips. I think clang finds /usr/lib32 in the sysroot automatically if it is present.

We use soft float on our products, but we have never used the LIBSOFT functionality.

Ok thanks, I new I remember something about soft something from you, just wasn't sure what it was :)

Yea, that was my memory. Actual soft floating implementation, not this weird thing :) I'll take that as a go ahead on removing this then.

I plan on breaking this up into a few commits before pushing it in. This one kinda got away from me while in process.

jhb says this is just for gcc since clang has lib32 in its path with -m32.
