Correct.  Yet, the FPU detection was buggy IMHO.

If there was a distinct multilib target for all combinations of processor
flags we would end up with 100 different libraries.  There has to be some
limitation to common combinations.  But if you need a special library that
supports m68020-60 without requiring an FPU you can do that with a little
manual work on the MiNTLib Makefiles and your gcc specs.

But I doubt that you will gain a lot by only giving -m68020-60.  The big
difference in performance is between FPU and non-FPU code.
