I tested today's ECL CVS HEAD; GCC 4.1.3 without glibc (but NetBSD-5 using its own libc) do not yet support C99 long double math functions. An initial build failed with undefined reference errors to the following l-suffixed long double math functions: - atanl ceill coshl cosl expl floorl frexpl ldexpl logl sinhl sinl sqrtl tanhl tanl However, building again with the --disable-longdouble configure option worked fine. If it's easy enough (and reliable) to detect if these functions are available via autoconf, it might be a good idea to automatically toggle the default boolean of longdouble depending on environment eventually. Otherwise, when I work again on a pkgsrc stub for a future ECL release, I could also create an option (disabled by default), which when disabled issues --disable-longdouble, and for some OS/versions known to support those into their libc to enable it issueing --enable-longdouble instead, which is not hard to do. Other than some of my own software I didn't run test suites, but I've observed no other problems yet despite the huge changes.
