...which probably does not exist, so this  is  a  valid  and  working
approach,  although  incomplete.  Appropriate  code  for other archi-
tectures can be added later. At least for MIPS. Or is  there  an  ARM
processor with 64 bit data bus?

It did not work in  the  intended  sense  as  the  compiler  did  not
generate  any  FP  instructions  -  which  is  to  be  expected as we
explicitely tell him to use -msoft-float.
