Martin, Thanks for the help. Problem solved, had some funky "test" kernel running with changes to some cache params, so it was a cache corruption/coherency problem... I'll answer the questions just to continue the thread and provide some closure. dhcp10-222-94-10:/# autoconf --version autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61
As far as CFLAGS mentioned, yes I have a separate gcc script that I change so I can add to the default flags. Just like you, I have found that not all Makefiles/systems use CFLAGS += so your env setup just gets smoked. Success in building a VFP encoded xaos that performs VFP inline and does not have to call aebi_fmult<whatever>. Performance using xaos -speedtest is much better that FPE or soft-float-libs. Now onto xserver... and other apps Thanks again J On Thu, May 22, 2008 at 9:26 AM, Martin Guy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > configure.in:966 is the AC_OUTPUT(...) line, so would you send the > output of "autoconf --version" too please? > > There are three versions floating around: 2.13, 2.50 and 2.61 and with > various combinations of packages "autoconf" and "autoconf2.13" > installed in differnt orders I have seen all three version numbers > emitted.
