The announcement of the availability of GCC for AIX 2.2.1 was the primary reason to buy a used RT for home use. Hence, my first project was building GCC. At that time, I did not know about all the native CC compiler flags regarding floating point usage ( -f and -f2, -lfm ). Because I did not use any building GCC, I suspect my GCC compiled code will do all floating point in software , right ? Rebuilding GCC with fcc -f2 as the native compiler and changing the gcc link specs to make gcc link with libfm.a and friends will do the trick, right ? Or is there a way of making GCC understand the -msoft-float flag so I can decide whether the code should use the FPA or not ? But then I remember reading in comp.sys.ibm.pc.rt that someone made a version of GCC that directly emits floating point code, but that the diffs for building this version were rejected by the FSF. Are these diffs available somewhere ?
