Interestingly, the patch and discussion I had were precisely about libmath being re-generated, and that was last year. He had sent me some test versions of bc 1.07.2 which should have fixed the problem, but I never took the time to reply it seems :-/ These projects with no mailing list, bug tracker or public version control system are really difficult to work with :-/ Best regards, Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Bootlin Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering https://bootlin.com
