[Arghh! Bitten by the stupid "can't post to gdb-prs" again!]
> Subject says it all. GDB no longer uses floatformat_arm_ext. Can it be eliminated from include and libiberty?
Eh! Why not? How does it unpick a stack frame unless it is unpicking
extended values?
ARM code uses either stfe (store extended) or SFM instructions when saving
fp registers into a stack frame. So I think we still need this somewhere
to do the job properly.
