Here is a questions:
(1) Do you want do some ``marketing'' for msp430-gcc? Do you want to
see this product (yes, free one), in use by ``corporations'' or
you understand, that msp430-gcc is for freaks (nothing personal,
I'm freak too, in eyes of many ``corportations''.
(2) How long does it takes? Is it one night for you or month of work
on FP library instead any really useful code optimization,
bugfixing and rest with friends? :)
(3) Does it break current FP realization (not so precision, but more
useful)?
I know, it is not `vote' :) I think, it is answers, which you should
answer to yourself to take decision.
