TI code is extremely difficult to read (for me ;).
This is not optimal and full of redudant calls, etc.
I did not have a TI code by the time I was writing fp support.
FP is supported by GCC but not optimal.
The libm provided with libc has basic FP functions implemented and float 
sqrt(float) is written as well.

There are no functs implemented in gcc. The particular FP function 
implementation strongly depends on the cpu architecture (besides, gcc has 
built-in code for some fp functions like sin, cos, sqrt, and even fft!)
So, it is not a problem to writ eimplementation fron them right away in C.
But this is slightly difficult to make them optimized. Well, it takes time.
If you can do  it, we'll appreciate this :)
