[fpc-devel] What is the status of -CfLIBGCC ? Can ib be considered good/working for embedded targets?

[Michael Ring]

I am having a lot of (no-)fun with floating point on Cortex-M0, current 
summary would be to say that things get pretty unreliable once I start 
using Floats.

I today stumbled over -CfLIBGCC, sounds interesting, but compiling 
cross-compiler trunk with this option ends up in an error:


/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make -C embedded all
/Users/ring/fpcupdeluxe-embedded/fpc/bin/x86_64-darwin/ppcarm -Cparmv6m 
-Ur -Tembedded -Parm -XParm-none-eabi- -Ur -Xs -O2 -n -Fi../inc

-dRELEASE -O1 -g -Cflibgcc  -Us -Sg system.pp @system.cfg
system.inc(426,5) Fatal: Internal error 200312126
Fatal: Compilation aborted

Is the option worth asking for a fix so that it compiles again or is it 
anyway so experimental that I better try to find the issues within softfp?
