Hi Richard.
The feasibility of replacing GCC's soft floating point supporting
routines (in libgcc) with GLIBC's faster and more accurate
implementation is being discussed on the GCC list:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-03/msg00013.html
Richard Earnshaw has brought up the issue that GLIBC's implementation
is LGPL, while the fp-bit.c implementation in GCC is GPL. Is this a
problem? BTW, both GLIBC's and GCC's implementation are copyrighted by
the FSF.
