I'm not sure, perhaps Uz could answer that?

That is an interesting resource, I've found a paper (URL below) that briefly describes the porting of the SoftFloat library to a 6502 core implemented on an FPGA (see appendix - again it's brief but the code is available).

Thanks for mentioning SoftFloat Andreas. Uz, have you ever evaluated SoftFloat as a possible implementation candidate for cc65?
