Thanks for the benchmarks, especially the index against a well-known 
desktop processor gives me more insight in the actual power of the 
emulation solutions.


I am however, also interested in learning how you built your toolchain 
with Nico's patches. Are you using a cross compilation tool or was this 
hand-crafted?

Did you also make sure the "printf("%f", 1.0)" issue was solved in your 
toolchain as discussed here?

Also, there seem to be outstanding issues for non-XScale targets, as the
assembler is forced to target XScales (but that is good for IXP425 :).
