- What is the state of floating point support with Linux on the
  MPC8260?

Same as any 603 with FPU.

Platform: EST SBC8260 w/ MPC8260 Rev A.1 running at 166 Mhz
Ethernet: 10 Mbs (SCC)
Linux kernel: 2.3.99-pre9
root filesystem (NFS mounted): MontaVista Hard Hat Linux version 1.1
Toolset: Denx Software CDK recompiled with gcc configured for
         --with-cpu=603e and hard-float (i.e. no --nfp)

You can't be mixing stuff like this.  If you would read the documentation
provided with the MontaVista CDK, you would have discovered that you
need to use the tools, libraries, applications, and file systems with
the kit.  Further, you would have discovered the 1.1 CDK is for an 8xx
and the libraries are compiled for soft (in-line) floating point.  You
are mixing floating point instructions with library and compiler support
that assumes otherwise.......The CDK 1.1 is an update to CDK 1.0.  The
documentation is found in the 1.0 directory.
