soft-float applications are generally built for armv5tel. The only
meaningful comparison I have is that armv7hl is much faster in all
respects than armv5tel, on same hardware & kernel, using same compiler
flags except for selection of target CPU generation, ABI and floating
point implementation.

It's kind of pointless to build armv7 soft-float imho. The only reason
is to co-exists with armv5tel which I have no meaningful interest in.
