Soft-float and newlib

[Walter Christian]

Hello,

I am currently having some problems with newlib (v 1.8.2) and my
motorola m68evk332 development board.
The basic functions in newlib, which doesn't make use of floating-point
work very fine. The first problem I encounterd was, that newlib doesn't
build an soft-float version by default. So I wrapped the m68k-coff-gcc
compiler that it always uses the -msoft-float parameter for compiling
code. Know newlib makes partially use of the software floating point, but
in some points it trys to use hardware floating point and i get an F-Line
exception.

Exception: F-line
Format/Vector=002C
PC   =00007B00 SR   =2700=TR:OFF_S_7_.....   VBR  =00000000 
SFC  =5=SD     DFC  =5=SD     USP  =0000FC00 SSP* =0000FFE0

00007B00 F22E               DC.W        $F22E
                                        ^^^^^
                                    I think this is an FPU Opcode.

It would be great if someone could help me out with an newlib and
soft-float support targeted on an cpu32 platform or can help me with
resolving my problem.
