9 Berkeley SoftFloat is a software implementation of binary floating-point
10 that conforms to the IEEE Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic. SoftFloat
11 is distributed in the form of C source code. Building the SoftFloat sources
12 generates a library file (typically `softfloat.a` or `libsoftfloat.a`)
13 containing the floating-point subroutines.
