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.
