Well the 476 implements ISA 2.05, which I think has added a fair amount
over the 440.  Not to mention the 476 core that has been released has
a FP unit.  I'll note that GCC has support for a 476 with and without
a FP unit, even though AFAIK, we only ship one with a FP unit.
The relevant options are -mcpu=476 (no FP unit) and -mcpu=476fp
(with FP unit).  Basically, -mcpu=476 is equivalent to
-mcpu=476fp -msoft-float.

This looks like a typo, since you didn't actually swap the offsets
on the stw's like you did in all of the other patch hunks.
