Done. The only issue left is a false positive:

ERROR: "foo * bar" should be "foo *bar"
#248: FILE: fpu/softfloat.h:507:
+int floatx80_remainder(floatx80, floatx80, floatx80 *, uint64_t *
STATUS_PARAM);

(STATUS_PARAM is not the name of the param, it's a macro.)

Done.

I did notice one place where int32 was used where int should be used
(the return variable of do_fprem), and that's now fixed. But for the
other uses of int32, as I was saying to Peter, they are tied to the
return type of extractFloatx80Exp. I wouldn't give the variable a
different type than the function, and especially not in this case
because the function should become int16_t, not int32_t.

I'll be sending a PATCHv2 momentarily.
