there are know issues with 'float' and 'double' support on sparc64.  you
   	should compile with -msoft-quad-float.
   
   -msoft-quad-float should only affect `long double' (128-bit)
   floating port code generation.



yes, that is what i would understand from the switch, but programs that only
use `double' now work with this switch.  see `iostat' or `vmstat' or `systat'.
ie, the switch is badly named, or does more than it should (lucky!)
