Title:
  ARM kernel builds fail with GCC 11

Status in php8.1 package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  While this might be a kernel build problem (see LP: #1939308) I wanted
  to raise the issue against the toolchain just so we can make sure it's
  *not* a toolchain bug. Basically the following behavior changed from
  gcc 10:

  $ arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-10 -march=armv7-a -c -x c /dev/null ; echo $?
  0

  $ arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-11 -march=armv7-a -c -x c /dev/null ; echo $?
  cc1: error: ‘-mfloat-abi=hard’: selected architecture lacks an FPU
  1

  Presumably the GCC 11 hard-float compiler now enforces the default
  config --with-float=hard?
