- I cross-compiled libc with GCC 2.3.2 from another machine, or at least
- everything but ldexp.o (which tickles a bug), and successfully built
- GCC 2.3.3. Rebuilding the library seems to have fixed the problem with
- the floating point stack overflowing, so I suspect it was probably just
- a bug in GCC 1.39 which caused it initially.
-
- If there is interest, I will make binaries of libc and GCC available
- for FTP. Note that GCC 2.3.3 has at least one bug which I know of--the
- one which causes ldexp.c to not compile.
