Would someone please explain (or point to an explanation) of how floating
point gets handled in GAS?  For example, how does GAS know what floating
point format to use?  Also, what is the file flonum-mult.c?  It seems to
be a floating point multiplication routine, but why is it in the assembler
instead of in a gcc library?

Many thanks,
E.
