Yes. V4 cores include FPU (similar to m68k FPU). Anyway, the problem is
that in order to compile the linux kernel for m547x 2.6.23 (patched by
freescale), I need to use the soft float.

I'm confused.. this the error:

my target is uclibc. I'm working undert OpenWRT building environment
(that is a fork of buildroot).

I sent a bug report (that at this point I think that is wrong...) with
the complete invocation. I will send tomorrow the complete
configure-call.
Thanks a lot and sorry for my low knowledge on toolchains (and
english...)
