Hi there!
Is there a working version of kernel floating point emulation for big endian
arm?
The version I currently use is 2.4.21-pre5 and fp emu doesn't work
correctly I think.
Regards,
Martin

nwfpe is correctly implemented for big endian. Most likely is that
your library doesn't know how to crrectly handle the ARM floating
point implementation.
You might also consider taking this to the linux-arm mailing list
at lists.arm.linux.org.uk.

Ah, ok.
I'll subscribe to the arm linux list. Sorry for the noise!
