I expect Sandra will be merging half-precision support for ARM to trunk
fairly soon; see her announcement
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-01/msg01062.html>. This includes
generic support for the IEEE half-precision format (plus an ARM-specific
variant) and lots of testcases that are likely to be useful for any other
targets wanting half-precision as well, as well as ARM-specific pieces
including the Cortex-A9 half-precision instructions.
