Hallo,

I am currently evaluation the feasiblitiy to add (real) 64-doubles to the 
capabilities of the avr-gcc. The current state is, that the avr-gcc supports 
floats and alias them to doubles. However, a prospective project demands the 
resolution (accordung to their research), and therefore the company needing it 
might sponsor me to implement the support.

However, beside some trivial patches, I am not familiar with gcc hacking. 
Therefore it is hard for me to estimated how long this will take, but the 
numbers are cruicial to deside if I get the assignement. 

As far as I dugg into the gcc source, there is a soft-float library which is 
used widely among non-FPU targets. However, I am currently missing the link, 
how the target has to be configured to be aware of that. As I am currently 
stuck with that, I'd appreciate any hint, link, documents etc which might point 
me into the right direction. 

Thanks,
