Re: how to make toolchain support VFP instead of FPA?


Thanks very much.
I am originally going to report after successful building.
Unfortunately, I encountered an error which has not been overcome up
to now.

The error is described below:

When building glibc/sysdeps/generic/setfpucw.c with
arm-iwmmxt-linux-gnu-gcc, it reported "selected processor does not
support 'rfs r2' ". I checked the source files and found it depends on
sysdeps/arm/fpu_control.h.  The 'rfs'  is FPA instruction. I wonder
why it still uses FPA instruction after I have patched the following
softfloat.patch.
