manipulating FPU rounding modes on alpha

Hi, I'm maintaining cgal (non-free), a package for computational geometry that requires manipulating the FPU rounding mode for some math operations. I need some help concerning an alpha specific problem. It turned out that the FPU rounding macros in 3.3-1 didn't work on alpha (search for ERROR

On my machine (the machine where Joachim tested the build) the kernel module math_emu is loaded. Could it be the case that the test do not fail on my machine because of that? In older mails from this list I recognize a problem that code linked against the new libc needs math_emu enabled? -

Hi, I have no clue how to debug this problem. The test works if the package is build manually, but fails on the buildd (ds10). I have no experience with alpha and don't know how to track this down. Is this possibly a result of the switch to ldbl128 that happened around the end of

Hi, I just checked once again on Uwe's machine without math_emu loaded. Now the test fails -- but in a slightly different way than on the buildd. Furthermore, the buildd ds10 is a ev6 according to www.buildd.net, thus it shouldn't need math_emu, right? Joachim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to
