Hi all,

AFAIK one can not use DJGPP's gcc with "-msoft-float" option
since GCC itself was not compiled with this option.

I know that such compling requires additional softfloat library
and I also heard that modern GCC versions do have
such library in `config/fp-bit.c` or in the `fpgnulib.c`,
but they are not enabled by the default.

Is it possible now to make "-msoft-float"-enabled version of DJGPP?
It will be very useful for various embedded (FPU-less) systems.

I know about "-lemu" option but in my case this option means severe
slowdown (up to several times).
