Floating point in 8260

From: zzh <hidden>

I make a port to motorola 8260 ads based on 2.2 kernel.
Now i am sure the kernel is fuctional,because i can run a
simple program that fork process and write to stdout.
I use simple assembly to make system call and does not
use any c lib.
When i try to run bash,8260 loops inside FPunavailble
exception.The 2.2 kernel support 603 with a FP,but
how should i do with 603e.
From this lists,i learned that someone else encounter
similar problem,they upgrade to a 8260 with FP.
I do not want to upgrade,how should i do?
Should i recompile the bash and c lib.How should i treat
float point.BTW,i have a apple G3,should i compile
these stuff on this machine?

 Best Regards.

If you are dead-set against upgrading the CPU, you can run a root filesystem
that is COMPLETELY without FP instructions (built to use soft-float). The
MontaVista 8xx CDK should work fine.  Just make sure you don't mix it (the 8xx
CDK) with other binaries.
