Try running 'readelf -a <yourbinary> |grep FP' this should give a hint on the 
setting of -mfloat-abi that was used during compilation. This post might 
explain more: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2012-02/msg00082.html

readelf will also give you the interpreter name that the binary wants to be 
run with (in your case it should be ld-linux.so.3). However, I've also seen 
ld-linux.so.3 being symlinked to proper armhf.so (and program binaries would 
use ld-linux.so as interpreter) or the other way round, so whatever readelf 
prints as the requested interpreter might not necessarily be conclusive.

Long shot, but have you tried grabbing ld-linux.so* from 1.5 and calling it on 
1.6 like this?
	./ld-linux.so.3 ./yourbinary
