When -msoft-float was added for ppc32 (powerpc) the error message for it not being \
supported for ppc64 was added.

Strahinja Petrovic added the support and the review materials had exchanges about \
ppc64, such as ( http://reviews.llvm.org/D13351 ):

> Remove this FIXME. It is not clear this will ever be supported (is there actually \
> ppc64 hardware without an FP unit)?

> I'm planning to support soft float for ppc64. At this moment I don't know name of \
> ppc64 hardware without FP unit. I know that gcc supports soft float for ppc64.

The review was closed 2015-Dec-15. The commit for powerpc (non-64) ( \
http://reviews.llvm.org/rL255515 ) was on 2015-Dec-14.
