Hi list, FYI, there may be a showstopper for the gfortran transition on mips{,el} for a little while, depending on how long it takes upstream to get a fix for it: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35662 The basic issue is that if your code calls both SIN() and COS() on the same value in close succession, gfortran 4.3 [at -O1 or higher] on mips* generates code that makes a call to sincosf() in libm -- and the call is somehow broken. I would imagine that a lot of scientific code may fall prey to this! Incidentally, I hope all the packages that have been ported to gfortran run test suites to check for this sort of problem -- better to have something FTBFS than to have it get into the archive but be completely (or worse, subtly) broken. best regards, -- Kevin B.
