Sometimes tracing the sources through the test suite can be quite challenging. On the other hand, sometimes errors may be indicated by an off-by-one issue in the least significant digit. Unless you are doing really heavy math, that probably is something you can live with. > As mentioned before, it's a relatively older system (Athlon XP 3200+) which > doesn't have SSE2 or other newer instruction extensions. Could that be the > cause of the errors? That's possible, but I'd think it would have been handled in the code. If it should be and isn't, then it does need to be brought up upstream. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
