Greetings.
I'm interested in having a hardware floating point working on 8548. I see,
there was a discussion couple of months back, but no consensus was reached,
as far as I can tell.
Basically, I want to implement the missing bits in libc (if there are any), but I would like to do it in a way that'll be acceptable for inclusion into the main tree.
I would also like to ask: what is the status of the already proposed patches? Are they usable for real projects or additional work is required?
