Hi,

So, how should MKSOFTFLOAT be handled?

If I understand correctly, with MKSOFTFLOAT:

	a) the in-tree soft float library (*1) is used, if available
	   for a given arch, instead of libgcc's SF (*2),
and
	b) a distribution is built with the in-tree soft float,
and
	c) gcc built as part of a distribution will pick up the
	   in-tree soft float library if -msoft-float is specified,
right?

If this happens the soft float functions (*1) are built into libc
instread of libgcc, right?

Could you be more specific about "the last time"?

Done, toolchain/24073.

(*1) lib/libc/softfloat
(*2) gnu/dist/gcc/gcc/libgcc2.c
