[avr-gcc-list] Avr-libc Floating Point Problem

[Thomas D. Dean]

I am attempting to compare the uM-FPU and avr-libc floating point times.
I think I am missing something, but, what?

See the code at the bottom.

The code is compiled with:
avr-gcc -Os  -mmcu=atmega128 -c -o main.o main.c
avr-gcc -Os   -mmcu=atmega128 main.o -o main.elf  -lc
avr-objcopy --only-section .text --only-section .data \
        --output-target=ihex main.elf main.hex

The output on the sio  is:

AVR Floating Point Tests
AVR Floating Point Tests
ssprintf ? 58
Fporta ? 6
Fmul   ? 18
Fadd   ? 16
Fdiv   ? 0
Fsin   ? 0
Llint  -235875775 0

All the floating point numbers are converted to '?'  It appears the
floating point conversion is not done???

If I link with
avr-gcc -Os   -mmcu=atmega128 main.o -o main.elf \
   -L/usr/lib/avr/lib/avr51 -lc -lm
I get the same code, looking at the output of avr-objdump.  It appears
that avr-gcc either uses the intrinsic code or always uses libm.a.
Which?

What am I doing wrong?
