* config/tc-mips.c (file_mips_soft_float, file_mips_single_float):
New statics. (OPTION_ELF_BASE): Make room for new option macros. (OPTION_SOFT_FLOAT, OPTION_HARD_FLOAT, OPTION_SINGLE_FLOAT, OPTION_DOUBLE_FLOAT): New option macros. (md_longopts): Add msoft-float, mhard-float, msingle-float and mdouble-float. (md_parse_option): Handle OPTION_SINGLE_FLOAT, OPTION_DOUBLE_FLOAT, OPTION_SOFT_FLOAT and OPTION_HARD_FLOAT. (md_show_usage): Add -msoft-float, -mhard-float, -msingle-float and -mdouble-float. (struct mips_set_options): New fields soft_float and single_float. (mips_opts): Initialized them. Add comment for each field initializer. (mips_after_parse_args): Set them based on file_mips_soft_float and file_mips_single_float. (s_mipsset): Add support for `.set softfloat', `.set hardfloat', `.set singlefloat' and `.set doublefloat'. (is_opcode_valid): New function to invoke OPCODE_IS_MEMBER. Handle single-float and soft-float instructions here. (macro_build, mips_ip): Use it instead of OPCODE_IS_MEMBER. (is_opcode_valid_16): New function. (mips16_ip): Use it instead of OPCODE_IS_MEMBER. (macro) <M_LDC1_AB, M_SDC1_AB, M_L_DOB, M_L_DAB, M_S_DAB, M_S_DOB>: Remove special-casing of r4650. * doc/c-mips.texi (-march=): Add Octeon. (MIPS Opts): Document -msoft-float and -mhard-float. Document -msingle-float and -mdouble-float. (MIPS floating-point): New section. Document `.set softfloat' and `.set hardfloat'. Document `.set singlefloat' and `.set doublefloat'.
