The MIPS has TARGET_SINGLE_FLOAT and TARGET_DOUBLE_FLOAT. Then it
does this:
(define_mode_macro ANYF [(SF "TARGET_HARD_FLOAT")
(DF "TARGET_HARD_FLOAT && TARGET_DOUBLE_FLOAT")
(V2SF "TARGET_PAIRED_SINGLE_FLOAT")])
and defines most of the floating point insns using ANYF, so that the
DF versions are only defined if TARGET_DOUBLE_FLOAT.
The command line options are -mhard-float, -msoft-float,
-msingle-float, -mdouble-float. If -msoft-float is chosen,
-msingle-float and -mdouble-float are irrelevant. If -mhard-float is
chosen, -mdouble-float is the default. If -mhard-float and
-msingle-float are chosen, the single precision floating point
instructions are used but not the double precision floating point
instructions.
