RE: floating point operations in gcc 3.3.3, glibc 2.3.2

Target: ppc750
Toolchain 1: crosstool-0.28-rc19, gcc3.3.3 glibc-2.3.2
Toolchain 2: crosstool-0.28-rc19, gcc3.3.3 glibc-2.3.2 without
gcc-3.3.2-arm-softfloat.patch
Sample Testcase: modified struct-ret-1.c with printf statements (see
attached)
Complier flag: --static.

Both the toolchains output the same .s file for the testcase. 
When executed on target, toolchain 1 binary prints garbage and toolchain 2
binary prints expected output.
For toolchain 1, the testcase compares garbage values and succeeds or aborts
and for toolchain 2 the testcase
compares valid output and always succeeds.

Thanks

There were no changes.  Thus I am uncertain whether this patch was the
problem.

Kunjan, how did you verify the toolchain no longer has the problem?

Can you check whether the .s files produced by 'powerpc-750-linux-gnu-gcc
-save-temps struct-ret-1.c' differ between the good and bad toolchains?  And
if so, send me both?
