(this occurs on an attempted assemble of a fpu instruction) my system specs are: - compiling with gcc 2.95.2 native on powermac g4 - glibc 2.1.3 - kernel(powermac)=2.2.15pre14 - kernel(4xx)=2.3.42 + patches - glibc configure options: configure --target=powerpc-linux --host=powerpc-linux --enable-add-ons=crypt, linuxthreads --prefix=/usr/local/ppc403 --without-fp - CFLAGS extras: -msoft-float -DNDEBUG=1 -O2 does anyone have a clue as to what is going on?? will i have to add some sort of software emulated floating point support in the kernel (use 8xx emu)?? or am i just missing a compiler option?? is it worth using this late revision of glibc, or am i better off to use an earlier/simpler revision?? cheers for any insights! ben ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
