Erik, This was great advice and very appreciated. Your explanations (I didn't
quote all of them) were quite helpful in narrowing down the problem a
bit more.

I now changed the code a bit (since my previous example added both,
fs2int and int2fs), to understand better what's going on:
long debug;
void main(void) {
long x = 100;
volatile float temp;
temp = x;
debug = temp; // debug=100 as expected
}
vs
long debug;
void main(void) {
volatile long x = 100;
float temp;
temp = x;
debug = temp; //debug=144, not expected
}
The asm block "functions called" is identical expect for the additional
"___slong2fs" in the not working example. I am not sure whether that is
sufficient indication to consider ___slong2fs the culprit, or whether I
can perform any additional tests.
When starting with 100 I obtain 144, for 116 I obtain 208, not sure that
this makes any sense. I guess it is time to look closer into slong2fs,
but I find different source files in the sdcc tree.
How can I know for sure which one is used here?
Why is it not the same for all chips?
Is there a way of making my debugging somewhat easier than connecting
displays to an actual chip?
Thanks for your help
