I know what happened. 2.6.1-rc2-mm1 added the `-msoft-float' compiler option. So what used to be inline 387 instructions became fp library calls. So it's not an _urgent_ problem, and I can probably just drop the -msoft-float patch from my tree. But it should be addressed. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
