Do you recall anything like that? GCC will generate uses of floating point registers from source code that only describes integer computations. GCC 4.1 will do so less often, but nothing has changed to prevent it. One can use the soft-float option, but this confuses people who want to use floating point registers in code that does describe floating point computations. David
