It's an IEEE software emulation framework, so everywhere you need software math emulation of the basic operations (+,-,*,/,sqrt,comparisons) you can use it. If you want to support quad long doubles on mips, I'd first go into gcc and hack support for that, because [root@tucnak gcc]# grep LONG_DOUBLE_TYPE_SIZE config/mips/*.h config/mips/mips.h:#define LONG_DOUBLE_TYPE_SIZE 64 [root@tucnak gcc]# I don't know what the MIPS ABI specifies about quad software emulation functions and arguments, so you need to find that out and last hack up soft-fp/sysdeps/mips Makefiles (and actual routines if the generic ones are not what you want to use).
