Re: Yorick FTBFS: DM needs access to ia64 machine
I said I wouldn't be fast and I wasn't. I have found that this
bug is not in yorick. The problem lies in the ia64 math
library. I am still unsure on how much detail I should have to submit
a bug report and whether to send it to glibc maintainers or debian.
I am quite sure this could not come from the kinds of changes
the debian distro makes; this is deep in the internals of the exp
function.
