In a perfect world the GCC provided libgcc.a would be "just working"
and we did not have to bother about all that.

But libgcc.a fo ARM is obviously not perfect, and causes problems. So
Jean-Christophe suggested to use the  alternative  implementation  he
wanted to copy from the Linux code - which again is supposed to allow
to use the code in question without changes.


But for some reason Jean-Christophe does not post a patch to add this
Linux based new library code, but rather suggests to change the  code
instead  -  which  I  do not understand, and which I tend to disagree
with.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
