RE: Bug#819069: dietlibc: FTBFS on powerpcspe due to missing FPU emulation in library



Hi Len,
Yes no altivec here, but i see the sys/kernel/math emulation include the Altivec emultation too..
what i dont see is the vsx emultation there.
Or the Altivec emulation in linux kernel is not working right or is the vsx who is making issue.
