why doesn't uclibc -msoft-float work like algorithmics -msoft-float?

Someone please hit me with the Clue Hammer.  My C++ file doesn't get
linked the same when I use uclibc as when I use algorithmics.

In the following, I use identical command lines to compile the file
first with algorithmics, then with uclibc.  The uclibc file ends up
with unlinked float commands.  Why are they different?
