I still don't understand this discussion. Floats aren't used in u-boot, so why should it make a difference if -msoft-float will be removed? I know there was one bug which linked in something wrong from glibc, but if that flag isn't needed than it shouldn't make a difference at all if -msoft-float or -mhard-float is used. So whats the reasoning to use -msoft-float as it is currently done? To confuse people? ;) Regards, Alexander _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
