+To have GCC include software floating point libraries in @file{libgcc.a}
+define @code{FPBIT} and @code{DPBIT} along with a few rules as follows:
+@smallexample
+# We want fine grained libraries, so use the new code to build the
+# floating point emulation libraries.
+FPBIT = fp-bit.c
+DPBIT = dp-bit.c
+
+
