Sounds to me like to need to have a little talk with your compiler vendor.
There is no need to link floating-point support into the process image
when the application has made no use of floating point.  Even the old PDP-11
UNIX got this right -- there were two _doprnt entries in the library, one for
use with floating-point and one without; the choice was tied to whether or
not the compiler had generated a ".fltused" reference.
