Me too. Rob, can you say more about what 8c's shortcomings are in
floating point? I think you alluded to them briefly, but I'm
interested in hearing more. 386 floating point is particularly
horrid; is the problem floating point in general, or is it floating
point on freaky fp stack things like the 386 has?
GCC had to develop a whole special extra codegen unit to manage to do
fp on a 386 anything approaching well, and without something like
that, it's pretty painful.
Thomas
