Hello,

I passed -m68020 to gcc invocation, but gcc takes libs from m68020-60 -
why is that? Would be nice if someone can explain it in one sentence :)
As far as I understood the -m68020 is using the fpu, while 68020-60
doesn't.

Greets,

so Ole is right in assuming:

""

Thats a question, and I presumue (if yes) it applies to ALL other non
68000 targets?

I just checked Wiki, it says 040 was the first with onboard FPU...

can someone clarify this. (what gcc is using with a specific target)

Paul


-m68020 doesn't use FPU it's for 68020 only

68020-60 : use FPU but a compatible FPU with 68060 (reduce opcode compare to 68881 or even 68040)
So software compiling with 68020-60 use FPU and can run on any processor with FPU without needed any emulation soft code.
