For a specific platform, what is the proper way to enable the floating
point emulation routines described at ?

In libgcc/config.host, add one of the t-softfp* files to tmake_file for
your host. There are a number of choices, depending on exactly which modes
you need support for, and exactly which modes are implemented in hardware.
E.g. a target with no FP hardware and no 128-bit long double needs only
soft-float sf and df. A target with FP hardware that supports 32-bit float
only, and supports 128-bit long double, needs soft-float df and tf. Etc.
See the various target independent and target dependent t-softfp files and
pick one that matches your situation.

In libgcc/config.host we currently have:
tmake_file="${tmake_file} t-softfp-sfdf t-softfp-excl t-softfp"
However, compiling a program that uses __mulsf3() throws the following error:
error: implicit declaration of function ‘__mulsf3’; did you mean
‘__mulsc3’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
Compilation is done using -nostdlib -lgcc
Any idea what else is missing ?

I ended up using:
tmake_file="${tmake_file} t-fpbit"
and it worked.
What is the difference between t-fpbit and t-softfp* ?

__mulsf3 isn't a user visible function. Instead of trying to call it, use
the '*' multiply operator and the compiler will call it for you.
