More on this bug: gcc has a bug in that it compiles assuming that a M68881 floating point coprocessor is available, when I compile my program on cream-of-wheat. I cannot run my program on kaboom (a 3/50). Additionally, I cannot run gcc itself on a 3/50 because it's compiled assuming a M68881 fp coprocessor! The default should be the equivalent of the Sun cc -fsoft switch or a switch sould be provided to get -fsoft behavior and a manual page should be made available to document it. ** This seems to be a recent change in behavior; old versions of the program that I built do run on the 3/50. It might be that the libraries have been compiled assuming the 68881. -------
