(Round 2) hppa glibc 2.3.2-9 available for the brave testers (Round 2)!
debian-hppa,
parisc-linux,
New testing deb's can be found at:
ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/unofficial-debs/glibc_2.3.2-9_2003-10-20/
They fix the following problems encountered by testers:
- Six argument cancellable syscalls don't crash your program anymore.
- Calling feraiseexcept with FE_INEXACT raises the correct exception and
flag bits.
Cheers,
Carlos.
