According to the GCC (gcc2.3.1) manual page, it seems that the
floating point library functions are not part of GCC distribution.
-msoft-float
Generate output containing library calls for floating
point. WARNING: the requisite libraries are not part
of GNU CC. Normally the facilities of the machine's
usual C compiler are used, but this can't be done
directly in cross-compilation. You must make your own
arrangements to provide suitable library functions for
cross-compilation.
Can someone tell me what I can do to include the floating point library
in gcc for Sun3 that does not have floating point hardware?
I noticed that there is a GNU C library, glibc-1.05. Does glibc include
the floating point functions, and should I install glibc?
Thanks.
