The linux system has arm64 having arm architecture armv8-a. How to know whether debian is running hard float or soft float?

In compliance with AAPCS64, GNU GCC for armv8 only provides the hard float aarch64 toolchain. This is unlike GCC for armv7-a, which provides arm-linux-gnueabi soft float toolchain and arm-linux-gnueabihf hard float toolchain.

  • Thank you for answering yourself, because I've been trying to figure out this exact thing the past 15 minutes or so. Most people just move on without answering! – schumacher574 Apr 15 '21 at 04:21
