coldfire and soft-float

[Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini]

Kay, Thanks for your support.

this is the config.gcc (part of):

...
m68k-*-uclinux*)                # Motorola m68k/ColdFire running uClinux
                                # with uClibc, using the new GNU/Linux-style
                                # ABI.
        default_m68k_cpu=68020
        default_cf_cpu=5206
        tm_file="${tm_file} dbxelf.h elfos.h svr4.h linux.h flat.h m68k/linux.h m68k/uclinux.h ./sysroot-suffix.h"
        tm_defines="${tm_defines} MOTOROLA=1 UCLIBC_DEFAULT=1"
        extra_options="${extra_options} linux.opt"
        tmake_file="m68k/t-floatlib m68k/t-uclinux m68k/t-mlibs"
        use_fixproto=no
        ;;
m68k-*-linux*)          # Motorola m68k's running GNU/Linux
                                # with ELF format using glibc 2
                                # aka the GNU/Linux C library 6.
        default_m68k_cpu=68020
        default_cf_cpu=5475
        tm_file="${tm_file} dbxelf.h elfos.h svr4.h linux.h m68k/linux.h"
        extra_options="${extra_options} m68k/ieee.opt"
        tm_defines="${tm_defines} MOTOROLA=1"
        # if not configured with --enable-sjlj-exceptions, bump the
        # libgcc version number
        if test x$sjlj != x1; then
            tmake_file="$tmake_file m68k/t-slibgcc-elf-ver"
        fi
        ;;
...

The target m68k-*-linux* doesn't set any tmake_file... I think that the
following should be added :

        tmake_file="m68k/t-floatlib m68k/t-mlibs m68k/t-m68kbare"

Thanks
