Indeed NWFPE was initially added in order to be able to execute pre-existing binaries from even earlier systems. Once soft-float became available in the toolchain, the netwinder userspace was rebuilt, and NWFPE became largely unnecessary. All of this happened in the early 2000's. >Acked-by: Linus Walleij >Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Acked-by: Ralph Siemsen Regards, Ralph
