Angstrom and ARMHF on Beaglebone

Hi,

Is Angstrom using a hardware floating point on the Beaglebone images?
I see,there are 2 different versions of Ubuntu (with and without armhf).
What is the practical difference?

armhf is an abi, not whether code uses the floating point units.
Angstrom uses teh NEON unit for floating point. I am not sure if
Ubuntu does (it may fall back to the vfp unit, which is not as good)

Does anyone know how Gentoo handles this?
