Ok, 
- the basic FP support is a part of GCC or a library found in msp430-libc
(which compiles to libm.a and can be linked with -lm)

- It includes basic math operations (+-/*, compare, negative, abs) and
type converter.

- Only single precision (4 bytes) FP supported. And I doubt doubles will
help much anybody with this MCU :)

- No any math functions written yet (of course they are, but not
especially for mspgcc)

- Anybody is welcome to write _any_ support!
