Has there been any resolution to the SIGFPE issue on pre-EV6 Alpha and Debian (just had another crash that pissed me off)? I really hope that no one is doing severely high performance, mission critical, FP code on pre-EV6 alphas these days, so I really feel that defaulting all Debian built Alpha images to IEEE shouldn't be a big deal. Rememebr EV6+ Alphas do not have this problem because they are compliant - just those of us with older machines that just occassionally want to use Konqueror or sketch something in Kivio are being affected (yes, I know, report the damn platform specific bug and someday it may be fixed, or better yet fix it myself ). If someone out there states that -mieee is gonna kill their 150Mhz Jensen, I would argue that at this point all it could do is make the machine with Debian installed more useful out of the box for someone that happens to inherit the machine. ...tom
