  Is there any status update for this patch (9/10)?
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-08/msg00099.html

  One issue that we want to mention is that
building this fixed-point libgcc library requires GNU make 3.81,
due to code in Makefile.in:
Ex:
+# Generate permutations of generic function name and mode
+$(foreach name,$(fixed-func-names),\
+  $(foreach mode,$(fixed-fract-modes),\
+    $(eval $(call fixed-arith,$(name),$(mode)))))

  This "make version" issue will affect all MIPS targets, because
fixed-point is enabled by default for MIPS.
Can we ask people to move to "GNU make 3.81"?
Or do you have any suggestion?

  Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Chao-ying
