I'm trying to find an OS that was compiled with -mfloat-abi=softfp to be able to use my precompiled ARM binaries on my Raspberry. Although I understand the reason why Raspbian and Arch are compiled with hard, I'd like to give it a try and compare the performance.
Is there such a distribution/image?
At this stage (archlinuxarm-13-06-2012.img), Arch uses soft float ABI (softfp). You'd better grab an image quick, because it will start using hard float soon.
uname -a maybe?

gcc -v, Arch definitely works with soft float
You can still download the old debian wheezy image from the official raspberry pi download mirror. Debian wheezy image is 100% sure softfloat, because it is the official arm port of debian.
There exists no official link to it, but you can find it in the index of the mirror.
