if you use a target of *-softfloat-* the glibc ebuild will add --without-fp and the gcc ebuild will add --with-float=soft > Another thing is, that -msoft-float and -mlong-double-128 are not > supported (many many warnings), but used within the Gentoo ebuild. > Perhaps -m128bit-soft-float is the one the programmers wanted, but in > my opinion it is also not the right choice. the Gentoo ebuild does nothing of the sort ... this is all in the glibc build system itself glibc-2.4 on ppc will require gcc-4.1.x ... anything older is not supported and i certainly wont waste any time on it > The Problems with glibc(2.4) and gcc (4.1.1 and 4.2) are discussed in > this bugreport http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2749. > Some patches are also discussed and attached in this bugreport. well, once upstream settles on something i have no problem cutting a patch from their cvs and putting into our glibc-2.4 patchset ... but i wouldnt really want to do anything until they've settled on a solution first -mike
