I noticed that Python's configure script checks for presence of libieee: # Linux requires this for correct f.p. operations AC_CHECK_LIB(ieee, __fpu_control) Now libc6 includes a quite sparse /usr/lib/libieee.a, freefly;17> dpkg -S libieee libc6-dev: /usr/lib/libieee.a freefly;18> nm /usr/lib/libieee.a 00000000 t Letext 00000000 D _LIB_VERSION but I can't find any documentation about it in the libc6 documentation. Now does linking with libieee change the FP behavior of an application, or is it just an empty legacy provided for compatibility with pre-libc6 sources? Gregor
