Is there any way to determine whether a linux executable is using soft float on an ARM processor?

Depending on the ARM ABI (EABI) version, there is a processor-specific flags for ARM that indicate the floating point behavior in the
e_flagsfield of anELFheader.From Linux/arch/arm/include/asm/elf.h
EF_ARM_SOFT_FLOAT – use FP instructions(0) libcalls (1)
There are programs such as readelf that can be used to display information about ELF files.
