But we also do not have any need for FP operations either. It would
just add to the complexity (and to the memory foot print, especially
on systems without FPU where we would have to provide soft-float
libraries, plus eventually variantes for SPEv1 and SPEvv2 and
whatever - not to mention that tghis will be needed for all the
non-PPC architectures as well).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
