Hi,

is it really the case that gcc will generate code for pre-sparc-v8 (e.g.
lx/sparc 10) cpu's by default and that the only way to enable the use of
the v8's hardware mul/div instructions is via explicit use of the mv8
flag?? 

Do similar comments apply to machines with an fpu? (e.g. lx)

    	Cheers, Cos.
