 [Arghh! Bitten by the stupid "can't post to gdb-prs" again!]
 
 >  Subject says it all.  GDB no longer uses floatformat_arm_ext.  Can it be eliminated from include and libiberty?
 
 Eh!  Why not?  How does it unpick a stack frame unless it is unpicking 
 extended values?
 
 ARM code uses either stfe (store extended) or SFM instructions when saving 
 fp registers into a stack frame.  So I think we still need this somewhere 
 to do the job properly.
 
 R.
