I would ask this on sparclinux if I thought I would get a response, but my last post there was ignored :( and I don't have an imap newsfolder for them (and don't really want to subscribe) so I can't check whether anyone is actually alive over there...
The question is: why do kernels (at least the 2.3 kernels we've been building) seem *all* set to compile with -mno_fpu on sparc? does the kernel support the fpu (i.e. can userland programs use it?) afaik yes.... is this just a weird issue where the kernel doesn't do any fpu stuff anyhow, and breaks w/o the flag?
