Dave,
I forgot to add OABI and ARM920T, with no patches.
Does anyone know if there is a difference in
the support for ARMv4 vs. ARMv5 instruction sets?

My understanding is that there is a fixed-point branch, unless you want
to revive libfloat (which is not the way to go, imo). I do have an FPU, but patches are welcome..

But no-one has managed to analyse exactly *where/how* ?
Could be difficult I know ...

This is nothing one has to analyze, just making it work. I have
repeatedly asked for a kernel .config ?) that is noMMU and softfloat
that i can use with qemu to check, to no avail. Apparently noone is
interrested in both noMMU nor softfloat and i do have both an mmu and an
fpu. "My lack of caring is deep and profound" as some usually say.
?) I'm lazy and don't want to experiment with a setup i don't use --
i.e. anything except i386.
