I was wondering where this bool came from. The answer is
that it's defined in tcg/ppc/tcg-target.inc.c. It's ok to
use it here because fpu/softfloat.c is only compiled if
CONFIG_TCG is true, so the tcg code will be present. The
other user of this include file is target/m68k/softfloat.c,
which also will only be compiled for a ppc host if CONFIG_TCG.
It's a little awkward to be borrowing this tcg/ppc internal
flag into the softfloat code, though.
thanks
