If you would read the documentation provided with the MontaVista CDK, you would have discovered that you need to use the tools, libraries, applications, and file systems with the kit. Further, you would have discovered the 1.1 CDK is for an 8xx and the libraries are compiled for soft (in-line) floating point. You are mixing floating point instructions with library and compiler support that assumes otherwise.......The CDK 1.1 is an update to CDK 1.0. The documentation is found in the 1.0 directory. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
