Of course. But you're perfectly free to get OE and bitbake and compile
the exact same thing with hardfloat so that you can use the compat
libs. It won't be OZ per-se but it will have all of the same programs.
I suggest, however, that people either pressure the commercial
developers to take the (relatively easy) step of getting OE and
recompiling their programs with softfloat or find Open Source programs
as alternatives that can be added to OE to fulfill their needs.
