Re: gcc-3.3.3 and softfloat?

... This configuration should default to always use soft float. You can verify
this by checking the preprocessor macros. My cross gcc (which _is_not_
configured for soft-float) gives this output:


  $ touch x.c
  $ arm_v4le-gcc -E -dM -msoft-float x.c  | grep -i fp
  #define _SOFT_FLOAT 1
  $ arm_v4le-gcc -E -dM x.c  | grep -i fp
  $

You compiler should always throw _SOFT_FLOAT. To be 100% certain
you should take a look at the assembly using objdump.

It does not!


$ arm-softfloat-linux-gnu-gcc -E -dM -msoft-float x.c | grep -i fp
#define __SOFTFP__ 1
$> arm-softfloat-linux-gnu-gcc -E -dM x.c | grep -i fp
$

So it does _not_ softfloat by default, and I have to use -msoft-float when building my application, right?
