    Hello. I've been trying to compile some fpu code but gcc does not want to cooperate.

    If i use the -m5407 option then it compiles in soft fpu emulation, if i try to use -mcfv4e (i think that this should be the right target for fpu) then i get an error message
    cc1: error: invalid option 'cfv4e'

    after some investigation it seems that m68k-elf-as does support -mcfv4e but cc1 does not.

    Any sugestions ?

    Thanks in advance.

    Does anybody have any sugestions ? Am i doing something wrong or does the GCC version packaged on the Zoom development kit CD not supposed to produce FPU instructions?

    No, you are not doing anything wrong. The compiler supplied witht the development kit CD does not support the ColdFire v4e FPU instructions.

    I am currnetly working on creating Cygwin binaries of a compiler for m68k-elf that *does* support the ColdFire v4e FPU, using the gcc-3.4.3 source used to build the linux compiler.

    After testing, they will be posted to the website.

    I don't have a specific date yet, since testing is just starting, but if all goes well, I hope "soon".

    I've done some preliminary testing, but haven't really stress it out.

    If you'd care to do some alpha/beta testing on this version, I'll see if I can arrange it.

    I've sent you an email last week, not sure if you got it.
    I would be interested in beta testing the new compiler.
