So calculating sqrt is the cause and not the symptom. > The GCC docs say about -mpowerpc-gpopt: > > The -mpowerpc option allows GCC to generate instructions that are > found only in the 32-bit subset of the PowerPC architecture. > Specifying -mpowerpc-gpopt implies -mpowerpc and also allows GCC to > use the optional PowerPC architecture instructions in the General > Purpose group, including floating-point square root.

(Configuring with the Fink supplied tools gcc > 4.1.0, autoconf 2.60, automake 1.9 does not seem to work.) I don't think -mpowerpc-gpopt should be needed for a graphical build but perhaps someone more familiar with Apple computers can comment. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
