And in this case, actions should be taken against old Linux's buggy strtod and not against kaffe. So I first made a new library containing strtod of NetBSD, and tried to make kaffe include it. But for some reason kaffe would include the old strtod. So, as the last resort, I decided to insert the source of new strtod into kaffe's Double.c. But now I have found the reason why the new library cannot be linked. In /usr/include/stdlib.h, there is a part that reads: | #if defined (__OPTIMIZE__) && __GNUC__ >= 2 | /* Define inline functions which call the internal entry points. */ | | extern __inline double strtod (__const char *__nptr, char **__endptr) | { return __strtod_internal (__nptr, __endptr, 0); } "gcc -O2" is used for compiling Double.c, so strtod was actually __strtod_internal. Now I have prepared new __strtod_internal using the new strtod. And kaffe can use them and works fine. Thank you. _______________________________________________ kaffe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe
