Does anyone remember or have any experience with the Cygnus -mfpflaw
patch to GCC 2.6.3? I'm just curious as I don't easily see any other
(official or unofficial) GCC supporting it. I did rebuild it with
DJGPP, but my wimpy test didn't seem to have any effect: the resulting
.EXE is the same with or without -mfpflaw. So maybe I'm doing it wrong
(or maybe I need to rebuild libgcc.a also??).

P.S. This is just for curiosity. I do have an old Pentium (166 Mhz, no
MMX) that still runs, but it's too "new" to have the bug (120 Mhz or
lower, I think).
