[ECOS] Are eCos gnutools planned to be released with a more recent(>3.2.1) version of libgcc

[etienneg@esiee.fr]

Hi

I'm currently working on porting eCos on Motorola PowerPC 860
(400Mhz). I experimented problems using floats while treating an IT of
3ms period.

float's handling took me too much time, for exemple:
 conversion float -> ulonglong = 500 µs
 float x float                 =  45 µs
 float / float                 = 100 µs

in comparison with DIAB's library, these measures are incredibly long
(especially conversions to or from floats). I tried to replace most of
the float's libGCCv3.2.1 functions by float's libGCCv3.3.3 functions. 

 conversion float -> ulonglong = 17 µs
 float x float                 = 10 µs
 float / float                 = 42 µs

Thx to this modification, I do not waste time anymore :
libGCC 3.2.1 -> IT is treated in 2,5ms
libGCC 3.2.1 -> IT is treated in 1,2ms


Obviously there's a great improvement in recents versions of the GCC
library. Are eCos gnutools planned to be released with a more
recent(>3.2.1) version of libgcc?
