Re: crosstool 0.28rc36 'glibc-vfp.patch'

It just finished building.  Indeed, the 'vfp' patch fixes the
'printf("%f\n", 0.5); prints 0.000000' and general 'floating point

Maybe let's rename it to 'glibc-fp-byteorder.patch', and remove the
misleading comment about it being for soft-float at the top of the
file?  ...

It's definitely needed for hardfloat. So I'd think it's needed for big-endian systems in any case, and for VFP on little-endian systems too. Someone would have to verify that though.

Can you folks have a look at glibc-20040827 and verify whether this patch is still needed and useful with that version? Let's get ready to get this into glibc CVS if in fact it's really a good patch for everyone. - Dan
