Soft and hard float

Hi,

I was trying to run some N9 PR1.x apps and get segfaults. So I need to
solve several things out.
1) N9 PR is compiled with hard float and N900 has soft float, right?
2) Is there any way to run hard float software on soft float w/o recompile?

this may improve the compatiblity of meecolay

Thanks in advance

Using a hardfp chroot.

According to ARM
documentation<http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dui0041c/ch11s02s02.html>,
you shouldn't combine them. What I would like to know is if Harmattan
binaries are softfp or hardfp, as it seems that there is a mix of them, how
is it solved in Harmattan?

Long time ago I started a
thread<http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75868>asking about
emulation of hardfp.

AFAIK, the PR bins are hardfp, but the store apps are mainly softfp. Why I
think so: PR bins segfault:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault

0x00000000 in ?? ()

0x00000000:


So I guess it's hardfp thing.

But normal store apps run mainly ok (or at least don't segfault in
0x00000000)

I recall something like hardfp to softfp emulator in case of flash player
or something. Is this compile time only, or can we use it with a built app?
