You had best execute a little test compilation to investigate what
the DJGPP C calling convention says about returning floats or doubles
from a function.  I.e.: write a little example in C, and 'gcc -S' it
to see what the parameter passing looks like:

The example source could be atest.c:

float atest(float a) {
    return a+5;
|

Using "gcc -S" on this will then give you (AT&T style) assembly code
in atest.s that you can inspect.
