Joel, do you recall the target in RTEMS which has 4-byte floats only? (We recently had an issue with it floating point context sizes related to it? IIRC, it had been a powerpc variant and we were forced to drop it because GCC doesn't support it.
BTW1: IFAIK, there also exist sh-variants (target tuple *-single*) which don't have 8byte floats. RTEMS doesn't support them, so I've never tried to build fortran for then.
Note that the major demand the Fortran Standard places on DOUBLE PRECISION is that it takes up twice the amount of storage. It also is supposed to be of "higher precision", but that is a QOI issue.
