In theory yes - it would be possible to generate a stub that tranlates hard fpu into soft fpu, when I met Tim Ansell (mithro) in Frankfurt last year, we talked a bit about that. In practice, it's pretty complicated though. > BTW i guess there are no apps working with compat-libs but with > soft-fpu? What are "compat" libs intended for? The compat libraries are to overcome the differences in the C++ ABI that vastly changed between the ancient 2.95.x and todays 3.x g++ compilers. Without the compat-libs, the commercial 2.95.x compiled apps wouldn't run at all on modern distributions. -- Regards, Mickey. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Dipl.-Inf.
