Incremental changes to the ABI are pretty bad news. Isn't it avoidable in this case? It seems to me that soft-float programs are either carefully controlled test cases, or used as part of a 100% soft-float system. In the first case the programmer had better take care, and in the second the kernel should have been changed to kill any program with an FP op-code. -- Dominic Sweetman Algorithmics Ltd The Fruit Farm, Ely Road, Chittering, CAMBS CB5 9PH, ENGLAND phone +44 1223 706200/fax +44 1223 706250/direct +44 1223 706205 http://www.algor.co.uk
