Far as I can recall, it was always so.
Also: "On a Macintosh using an Intel microprocessor, Objective-C
messages
sent to nil return garbage for return values that are typed as
float or
double. On a Macintosh using a PowerPC microprocessor these messages
return 0.0."
Hmmmm... perhaps in a hurry they wrote it the other way round and it
happens to be the Intel ObjC which zeroes the FPR? To be frank I
cannot remember how this used to work last time i486 was supported in
OpenStep (not speaking of that it would hardly be relevant for a new
GCC with a new ABI anyway :))
