SoftFloat future

[Rafal Jaworowski]

Hi,

I wanted to learn about the directions for soft float emulation approach on the ARM since right now ARM is the main consumer of it. For the FPU-less PowerPC (e500) port we previously (6.x) used the SoftFloat lib, but during integration with -current I had lot of problems to make it work (a couple of symbols in libc got 'corupt'), and finally gave up for the gcc level soft-float instead, which seems to work fine.

So what's ARM people view on using SoftFloat vs. gcc soft-float? What are FreeBSD/ARM plans in this regard.
