   Is there a possibility to print floating point values, that are 
   currently in a floating point register, by the name of the variable?

I don't know.  I'd suggest first to find out whether GCC at all puts
that info into the debugging info it attaches to the program.  (I
suspect it doesn't, in which case it's not a GDB problem.)  Questions
about this latter issue should probably be posted to the Binutils
forum.

I have a newer version of GDB on my development machine which might
solve this problem, but I'm on the road now, so you will have to wait
for a few days if you want to know.

One thing I *do* know that GDB 4.18 doesn't handle in the DJGPP port
is functions that return FP values in FP registers: it displays
garbage as the return value for such functions.  GDB 5.0 will corrects
this bug.
