I have some code that uses extended floating point format that I would
like to port to GCC. The dialect of C this is comming from supports
extended as a primitive type (i.e. I can multiply two extendeds together
using the generic '*' operator). Is this possible in GCC? I've seen
reference to the XFmode for the 68881 (which we have) but I havn't
*really* looked into it yet. What's this float-store flag all about?

I hope someone out there can save me some time.

	Thanks in advace,
