Re: g77 -mieee no longer the same: OK kernel problem

["James D. Freels" <fea@fea.rrd.ornl.gov>]

I fixed the problem by booting under the stable kernel 2.0.34 with the
Alpha patches from DEC.  With the -mieee switch enabled, the code does
execute as desired.

However, upon reading some of the traffic on the alpha newsgroups, it
appears the DEC-Alpha floating issue under Linux is under alot of
work.  Apparently the -mieee slows things down considerably and also
the development of a faster math library is underway.

Anyway, I'm back to normal and I know what the problem is.

Thanks.
