Maybe this is a stupid question (and maybe unrelated), but how does
Debian/ARM handle FPU issues. I know XScale requires softfloat, but I
don't think the Debian ARM port was compiled with softfloat. It almost
looks like supporting Coldfire will be a plain pain because of the
different varients in the chips (I almost see an Debian SuperH scenario
coming)

Hi,

With respect to Floating Point there are differences within the Coldfire
V4 family. The M547x/M548x have the FPU you have been discussing. The
M5445x doesn't have any FPU hardware and requires everything to be
compiled with softfloat.
Linux/m68k assumes a FPU to be present, CF doesn't even know about the
extendend fp precision (long double), but it's currently used by m68k.
bye, Roman
