Re: SIGFPE and -mieee



I've prepared and tested a patch for gcc to address the -mieee issue.

The patch makes -mieee the default and adds a -mieee-disable option to make it 
possible to reverse the default (maybe this should be called -mno-ieee).

I'll submit it to either the gcc mailing list, or as a bug rebort against gcc, 
shortly.  Comments?  Suggestions?

Thanks  -T

PS:  Incidentally, I checked both LAPACK and BLAS (on which ATLAS is based).  
They are currently both being compiled with -mieee.
