NetBSD 3.0 (GENERIC3X) running on Sun 3/80.
>Description:
If I attempt to build the gcc-3.3.5 compiler with "-msoft-float -m68020" via the NetBSD 3.0 included gcc-3.3.3 compiler, the build fails on jartool.c with undefined reference to __floatsisf and __fixsfsi.  The command "nm /usr/lib/libc.a | grep fix" shows __fixdfdi, but not __fixsfsi.  I see that /usr/src/lib/libc/softfloat/softfloat-for-gcc.h references both __fixdfdi and __fixsfsi, but /usr/src/lib/libc/tags only defines __fixdfdi to /usr/src/lib/libc/quad/fixdfdi.c.  I can't find fixsfsi defined.  My libc.a on Netbsd 3.0 for i386 also doesn't have it/them.

tar xf gcc-3.3.5.tar
cd gcc-3.3.5
./configure --enable-long-long --disable-multilib --enable-threads --disable-symvers
make

 I found that the missing soft-float routines are  added to NetBSD's libc.a if 
 gcc was original built with the configure option  --nfp.  So compiling 
 something with -msoft-float isn't very useful if gcc  wasn't originally built with 
 --nfp.  Maybe this isn't a bug, but at least  its very confusing.  

 Maybe this could be added to the man page  under gcc -msoft-float, or a 
 netbsd soft-float faq somewhere.  I rebuilt  the entire userland with MKSOFTFLOAT 
 and gcc's configure with --nfp (per PR  toolchain/34527), and can now generate 
 -msoft-float executables fine.
