Hi

O.K.
Thank you for the explanation.

O.K.
Yesterday I tried with the gcc 3.4.3, glibc 2.3.5 and binutils 2.16.1.
libgcc.a looks O.K, because I did not find any FP instruction, however
if I do objdump on libc.so.6, I get:

   2ffb8:       ac870028        sw      a3,40(a0)

Again, FP instructions! I don't know what is wrong :-(

Now I am trying with the:
GCC: 4.1.0
GLIBC: 2.3.5
BINUTILS: 2.16.1
Linux Headers: 2.6.11

Will let you know, when the toolchain is built.

BR,
Matej

P.S.: I am cc-ing crosstool mailing list too.
