On the x86 target, the problem is that it doesn't compile with softfloat. OTOH, I think it is the way to go, as for example emulating an x86 machine on ARM, even if you don't care about the exception flags, the precision is not correct. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net
