System: NetBSD alien-from-alpha-centauri 1.6R NetBSD 1.6R (ALIEN-FROM-ALPHA-CENTAURI) #2: Sat Apr 19 14:32:52 CEST 2003 martin@alien-from-alpha-centauri:/mnt/src/sys/arch/alpha/compile/ALIEN-FROM-ALPHA-CENTAURI alpha
Architecture: alpha
Machine: alpha
>Description:

gdb and gcc have a very different idea how big a "long double" is on alpha.

>How-To-Repeat:

See script below (/mnt being the NetBSD-current source tree)

[/mnt/regress/lib/libc/convfp] martin@alien-from-alpha-centauri > ./convfp 
no suitable {long} double type found, skipping "unsigned long" test
sizeof(long) = 8, sizeof(double) = 8, sizeof(long double) = 8
PASSED
