Well, the tests have already been written. You just have to grab them from 
the gcc sourc and run them, you don't have to commit them. The code to 
make FP "work" doesn't need to be "correct", it only has to cause the test 
suites to pass and hence you don't have to be familiar with FP. That is 
the beauty of Test Driven Development ;-) Think of it a successive 
approximation.
