[fpc-devel] ANN: powerpc/linux no fpu support

Hi,

Some time ago "no fpu" support for the RTL was committed to fpc trunk
for powerpc-linux. The RTL should be recompiled using the -Cfnone
option. (make OPT=-Cfnone ...) This will cause all floating point usage
from the RTL to be dropped.

In particular, this means there is no TDateTime anymore.

Is anyone interested in using this support and/or extending it to other
platforms or to FCL etc? Or to implement TDateTime using e.g. int64 or
another way?

Micha
