Actually on rereading this: is there really any Linux port that emulates multiplies in software? I thought that was only done on really small microcontrollers or smart cards; but anything 32bit+ that runs Linux should have hardware multiply, shouldn't it? -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
