Is it paranoia by any chance? Paranoia is available as single files at:

Ran fine on:
- Toshiba RBTX4927 (with FPU :-)
- Mikrotik RouterBOARD 150 (without FPU), using an older 2.6.x OpenWRT kernel
and runs into an endless loop around line 806 when built with
a softfloat toolchain (gcc-4.4.3).
From the point of view of this specific problem, using a softfloat
toolchain isn't what you want to do.
The question is if the kernel's FP emulator is operating correctly, if
you never execute any FP instructions (due to the use of a softfloat
toolchain), you would not be testing the emulator.
