Yesterday I have run a test where saw the slowness of the line-f trap mechanism for unimplemented instructions hured my performance. I wonder if some has do a implementation of gcc 2.33 where for example 'fsin' is replace by inline assembler the 68040 know and without using the trap handler to emulate it. This is done for the instructions fintrz and so on but not for transcendetal functions. I know here the line-f trap is fast compared to the calculation time of the sin but if you do millions of them this 



will coast you alot of time.

Thanks for your help
