This may not be directly related but I think it should be addressed
IMHO that is.

When I put GCC up on a Sun4-490 for cross-compiling to 680x0 code, I
found that due to some developers storing floating point on disk,
it was impossible to use IEEE floating point.  We are stuck with the
original VAX D float format.
