Good!

I agree. As I said in my first email, for the moment the patch is
Intel-specific (and actually i386-specific). I was asking for
preliminary opinions, because if people immediately think that such a
patch would never be accepted, then I would not bother generalizing it.

BTW, it is correct to assume that for all architecture supported by tcc
float and double are always 32 and 64 bits?

Thanks, Giovanni.
