Re: [SH] Correct fabs and fneg insns in simulator

Hello Oleg,,

Thank you for the patch. We don't have an SH maintainer for GDB,
and in the absence of any feedback from other interested people,
we will just trust you on this. So I pushed this patch under the
"tiny patch" rule.

If you ever think of contributing other patches to GDB, we'll probably
have to start thinking about getting your copyright assignment to
cover GDB as well.
