howdy,

i've been running netbsd on my duo 210 and, despite the claims for
fpu emulation, the no-fpu libraries that one gets with netbsd do
not have all of the functions defined within. many of them are
just set to unity, presumably because no one wanted to write source
code for those functions. this makes it difficult to actually write
useful code. one never knows if sin(X) is always going to be equal
to 1, or what. i couldn't find anything on the web pages which would
suggest that things might have been fixed/changed.

does anybody know?

cheers,
