Re: [PATCH 4/4 v2] [POWERPC] Kilauea defconfig file

Hallo Stefan,

If not, do you want this set by default so 
floating point instructions work?

No, we use soft-float on all such systems which is much faster.

I just checked some existing arch/ppc defconfig files (and arch/powerpc too). 
Most if not all have MATH_EMULATION not set. Even on those PPC's without FPU. 
I assume we see no problems since soft-float is used while compiling.

Anyways, I'll change this and resubmit.

No, please leave as is.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

It's fine either way with me.  It was just a question since not all
distributions compile with soft-float.
