Comment(by greenfeld):

 I tried running "info float" but gdb reports "No floating-point info
 available for this processor."

 "info vector" returns the wR* and wC* registers.

 So some more random (from a non-low-level person) possibilities are:
  * We made a mistake using gcc trying to access the contents of the d#
 items shown in gdb's disassembly of the code.
  * gdb for some reason does not know about our floating point unit, or
 needs a flag set to tell it to check it.
  * gdb's disassembly is incorrect but somehow looks reasonable.
  * The d# registers overlap other registers and gdb doesn't bother to show
 their contents twice.
  * We do not know what the d# items symbolize, but are guessing they are
 registers by accident.
  * Somehow we ended up in a NEON or similar alternate code path, and there
 is enough vestigial support inherited from other processor variants that
 we kept going until we couldn't.
