[fpc-devel] How to get FPC to generate floating point instructions for ARM?

[michael]

OK, I will have to live with my as fpu hack for the time being.

A couple of question:

1) I have built an ARM cross compiler on my PC with lazarus_first_time. How 
can I get that script to build a cross compiler with the required hardware 
floating point support?

2) I understand that ARM is not a tier one architecture for FPC and that the 
available ARM binaries from frrepascal.org are getting quite old now.

Is this a situation that is likely to change soon? With the explosive growth 
of the ARM processor in mobile and embedded devices it would seem time that 
it was a tier one architecture.
