System: NetBSD shark1.cambridge.arm.com 1.6ZC NetBSD 1.6ZC (SHARK1) #7: Sat Sep 27 15:13:42 BST 2003 rearnsha@vpc960.cambridge.arm.com:/usr/src/sys/arch/shark/compile/SHARK1 shark
Architecture: arm
Machine: shark
>Description:
	The gmp package fails its diagnostic tests.  This is because it 
	doesn't recognise the VFP style pure-endian floating-point format.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	after building the gmp package, cd to the build area and run 

	gmake check

	Some tests will fail
	
>Fix:
	
	Apply this patch:
