As mentioned/asked in http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-12/msg00744.html our GCC/ARM port for RISC OS which is using for one of its multilib variants FPA (to interface with the SharedCLibrary used in RISC OS). Other multilib variants are soft-float and VPF. I would like to keep the FPA support in gcc 4.8. I'm wondering if the removal of FPA is really necessary. Does FPA support prevent future ARM improvements in GCC ? John. -- John Tytgat, in his comfy chair at home BASS john.tyt...@aaug.net ARM powered, RISC OS driven
