Yes. See config/init/hints/solaris.pl for further details. In brief, for
Sun's compilers, we can use -xlibmieee. I don't know an an equivalent
flag for gcc.
I don't know if The only change in the compilation process. The only
change in the linking stage is that the -xlibmieee flag forces the
inclusion of /opt/SUNWspro/SC4.2/lib/values-xi.o instead of
/opt/SUNWspro/SC4.2/lib/values-xa.o. I don't see an equivalent
replacement one can make in the gcc specs file.
