Did you end up getting testfloat running?  I'd like to see some
testing results before accepting these patches.  I think

our best bet at this point.

Hi Kumar,

I looked into the testfloat suit, and found all the instructions it
tests (more than 50)should be implemented based on ASM.

Don't follow?  Can't you build it with the e500 compiler?

The TestFloat suite provided the target of 386-Win32-gcc and
SPARC-Solaris-gcc only, and a template for user to porting his
own processor. Some general instructions are implemented in C,
but some CPU specific instructions like evfsmul need to be
implemented assemblely. To build it with e500 compiler we still
Have some porting work to do.

I wouldn't worry too much about the vector forms.  If the scalar  
single fp and double fp test out ok the vectors are pretty much  
similar enough.

Lets just get the scalar versions tested and work out any issues there.
