I was somewhat surprised, after posting this failure message, not to get any
response at all - not even a flame - from a list that otherwise seems rather
chatty..... But I interpreted that as an implicit rebuke, an injunction to go
fix the problem myself.
So I went looking, and found that nothing had changed in floatfns.c (the file
that wouldn't compile) from (at least) beta 36 to beta 38. On the other hand,
I had in the meantime updated my glibc-devel rpm from version 1b to 1f, which
included a new version of math.h. Once I downgraded back to 1b, the problem
went away, and beta 38 built without incident.
So change that "FAILURE" to "SUCCESS" on MkLinux (egcs-1.02). As long
as it's
built with the not-quite-latest development files.
