Hi Alex,
Support for % ^ << >> operators is done.
I'm sending patch-lib-source+libgcc+libgcc1.S to You.
It was created during diff with libgcc1.S 1995-07-12 05:17:00.
I hope, that will be useful for other programmers.

Good day.
Martin

like "1/3.0" could end up having a different result
from "x/3.0" where x = 1.0 at runtime.... read more
