Here's a patch that makes IEEE compliant math operations (support for denormalization, nan, inf, etc) the default on the Alpha unless it is specifically turned off with -mno-ieee. It arose out of a discusion on the Alpha port list about packages SIGFPEing on the Alpha (see the thread 'SIGFPE and -mieee'). Place the attached alpha-ieee.dpatch file in the debian/patches directory for gcc (unstable, version 3) add it to the debian/rules.patch file as follows: ifeq ($(DEB_TARGET_ARCH),alpha) debian_patches += alpha-ieee endif Later -T -- Tyson Whitehead (-twhitehe@uwo.ca -- WSC-) Computer Engineer Dept. of Applied Mathematics, Graduate Student- Applied Mathematics University of Western Ontario, GnuPG Key ID# 0x8A2AB5D8 London, Ontario, Canada
