Great.

If you are doing this, you might also look at seeing if you could find
the change mentioned here and add to the test build:
http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2006-January/028172.html
It's a floating point exception issue and it's currently blocking kde.

Randolph Chung posted a fix here:
http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2006-January/028140.html
However, this fix doesn't save all the FP exception registers and I think
Carlos was going to provide an update.

Thanks,
Dave
