Right, but it would be beneficial for all if you *could* build those
2 sets of binaries...without your patches, will just doing an
-msoft-float build actually build a working non-fp set? IIUC, your
patches allow the msoft-float to work, they don't force it. So there
would be no downside to them being included in the general release
(you just don't build with -msoft-float for the mainstream distro).
Frederick was suggesting that you get the source code changes
committed, not that we commit to your (non-fp) build type as the main
one.
