.rdata is an ecoff thing; it won't work for elf systems.  I suggest
that you pass in this data from main and leave the symbol work to 
the compiler.  That is,

	extern double gt(double);
	int main ()
	{
	  gt (360.0);
	  gt (-360.0);
	  return 0;
	}

	/* double gt(double a)
	   {
	     if (a > 0)
	       a = 0;
	     else
	       a = -a;
	     return a;
	   }
	*/

	asm (
	"	.text\n"
	"	.ent gt\n"
	"gt:\n"
	"	.frame $30,0,$26,0"
	"	.prologue 0\n"
	"	cpys $f31,$f31,$f0\n"
	"	fble $f16,$gt_1\n"	/* stop at this instruction.  */
	"	cpysn $f16,$f16,$f0\n"
	"$gt_1:\n"
	"	ret $31,($26),1\n"
	"        .end gt\n");

I might also suggest that you test both branch directions.
