You are welcome.

What exactly do you mean? This is not considered to be a problem.
There is a general consensus:
The FP emulation code for PowerPC in the Linux kernel is incomplete
and not usable for real-life applications. This is NOT a problem
because you can easily use "-msoft-float" when compiling your
user-land code (including applications and all libraries) which works
reliably and is MUCH faster than the FP emulation.
Any decent tool chain will automatically set the required compiler
options and select the correct versions of the libraries when you
compile for MPC8xx targets). For example, I know that both MV's
toolchain and our own ELDK will do this if you use the "ppc_8xx-gcc"
compiler.
Best regards,
