Do you happen to have a pointer, or a copy of that message?  If that
route ends up making the most sense, then it would be nice to have our
ducks in a row.

As for the 16-bit issue, I don't think that's necessarily an
all-or-nothing switch; the most likely route of progress would be to add
ieeelib.c/glibc soft-fp and then gradually migrate targets that wanted
to migrate.

Joseph is comparing the two alternatives with fp-bit.c, and I'd expect
he'll have an opinion about which is best.
