-hack   gcc-sparc64-memorysize
-mdate  17 Sep 2000
-who    mrg
-port   sparc64
-file   lib/libc/hash/sha1.c            : 1.6 : 78 : 129 : 162 : 189
-file   sys/lib/libkern/sha1.c          : 1.6 : 78 : 129 : 162 : 189
-file   usr.sbin/bind/lib/Makefile      : 1.14 : 87 : 91
-descr
-       the normal SHA1Transform() function causes the sparc64 compiler to
-       use excessive amounts of memory attempting to optimise this function.
-       using no optimisation allows the function to build.  this hack
-       splits the mathematical functions inside SHA1Transform() into 4
-       separate functions, which avoids the optimiser explosion.

-hack   gcc-sparc64-double-arguments
-mdate  18 Sep 2000
-who    mrg
-port   sparc64
-file   xsrc/xc/lib/fonts/Type1/type1.c         : 1.2 : 1461 : 1507 : 1702 : 1709
-descr
-       in passing 17 "double" arguments to a function, gcc incorrectly tries
-       to use a register that doesn't exist, causing an internal error.  this
-       hack changes the way arguments are passed to the function, such that
-       a pointer to a "double" (really an array) is passed, and the old
-       arguments are assigned within the function.

-hack   gcc-sparc64-gawk
-mdate  28 Oct 2000
-who    mrg
-port   sparc64
-file   gnu/usr.bin/gawk/Makefile               : 1.11 : 21 : 24
-descr
-       gcc fails to build gawk properly, due to double floating point bugs.
-       this simple test program will fail to print ``ab'':
-               BEGIN { f = "abc"; print substr(f, 1, 2); exit }
-       the work around is simple: use -msoft-quad-float.

-hack    gcc-sparc64-libgcc

-who    jmc
-port   sparc64
-file   gnu/lib/libgcc/Makefile                 : 1.29 : 24 : 27
-descr
-       gcc fails to do double -> int conversions correctly without 
-       soft-quad-float. Add it in there for the internal conversion
-       routines. This appears to be more than likely emulations bugs than
-       compiler bugs as the assembly looks correct on the surface.

-descr
-       gcc fails to build iostat properly, due to double floating point bugs.
-       results will include "Inf" and other garbage.
-       the work around is simple: use -msoft-quad-float.

-descr
-       gcc fails to build ntpd properly, due to double floating point bugs.
-       Ntpd will fail to decode incoming packets; ntpdc -s will report
-       a delay, offset and dispersion of 0.0000 for all peers.
-       the work around is simple: use -msoft-quad-float.

-       and -Os.  the work around is simple: don't use -Os.
