[Gcl-devel] Re: 2.6.8pre/maxima on macosx

[Aurelien Chanudet]

Some points to consider :

- The saveFP and restFP routines are automatically generated by the
compiler when floating point arithmetic is being compiled.

- My BFD Mach-O backend deals with these routines by means of branch
islands. Whenever a reference to saveFP / restFP is generated by the
compiler, the BFD linker automatically knows how to deal with it.
