Re: Same mipsel binary für 2.4 and 2.6 kernel possible?

["Kevin D. Kissell" <kevink@paralogos.com>]

When you say "float math isn't working", what do you mean?  When you say 
that the new binary
only works with the 2.6 kernel, what do you mean?  Are you getting bad 
answers, or is the program
crashing?  If it's crashing, and you run it under gdb, where is it 
blowing up, and why?  Are you able
to re-create the "old" binary?   If you do a static link of the program 
using the old tools,
does the resulting binary work better under 2.6?

The FPU emulator has bad some minor cleanup over the past few years, but 
it's been pretty
stable, and I can't recall having seen any serious functional or 
compatibility problems in a long
time.  I think it's more likely that you've got a problem with libraries 
and/or build procedures
for the application.
