Is there a special reason for not wanting to compile the libraries with the "-f68881" option other than the size of the files ? We originally did compile them with -f68881, but if memory serves, took it out for the following reasons: o if you share libraries and somebody tries to use the library without having floating point hardware, they lose. o may have needed special crt0 or library (not -lm?) even if your application didn't use any floating point. The first one was the main reason. If that isn't a problem for you, go for it.
