Hi David,

Thank you for the reply.

Yes, I have also added the soft-fp/t-softfp to tmake_file.

I have defined the variables mentioned in the file 'gcc/config/soft-fp/
t-softfp' in 't-fprules-softfp' file. It is copied to the target folder 
in config directory.

But still the soft-fp routines are not getting used. Do we need to specify
any configure options to gcc? 

Also, please let me know the name of library built for soft-fp and how to
verify that the soft-fp files are compiled and linked with the gcc executable?


Thanks
