I thought I'd be brave and do a complete build with the gcc that's in
the source tree now, and I'm getting some really wierd floating point
problems. I first noticed the problem with df - the output looks
something like this:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/rz0a 31453 15451 14429 -130765130326886309632683727683765395736235912447032336711144702809424275026618678798621044860872953911283000475197896207516055235441287180384736052502788460750275775251887080606932525684703077392859102175767734585941770678185841343570312309963472091234954689173967637868150984813477625856% /
A little bit of playing around shows that vfprintf seems to have no
idea on how to print a floating point number. I _think_ that gcc's
math is ok, but I'm not 100% sure.
I haven't started to really look at the problem yet - I was wondering
if anyone else has seen this behavior before I start looking...
Simon.
