[Buildroot] Toolchain for i386 with floating point emulation

[Claudio Leonel <cls@elaxys.com.br>]

Hi,

Thanks for the tip.
I have done that but I got an error when linking uClibc.
I seems that the floating point functions were not found.
I supplied the option "-msoft-float" in buildroot target optimization 
options.

These floating point emulation functions are part of uClibc ?
Any suggestions to solve this problem ?


Best regards,
Claudio Leonel
