Floating-point linkage and computational requirements of compiler options

There are various valid combinations of FPU options and processors.

The following table sets out the FPU options, and their capabilities and requirements.

Table 5-14 FPU-option capabilities and requirements

Note

You can specify the floating-point linkage, independently of the VFP architecture, with --apcs.
