When I worked through the soft-to-hardfloat transition (some months ago)
it seemed that softfloat libraries in /usr/local/lib were not recognized
as such, causing many port builds to fail at the linking stage. My simpleminded
fix was to figure out what generated each library and re-make that, but
the process got very tedious. 

I wasn't brave enough to simply remove (or rename) /usr/local/lib, thinking
at each occurrence "This _has_ to be the last one!" but in the end a better
method would have been worth considerable effort.
