IIRC, it isn't used in any 8xx code paths. > - Shouldnt upstream glibc have that fixed for 8xx by now? Ha. Funny. The glibc powerpc maintainer doesn't want any embedded fixes in the mainline. Last I checked, that was for 'the tools vendors' to fix. "We won't work around processor bugs" is their philosophy. I went through a similar (unsuccessful) battle with the amcc 440ep's "blrl" errata and gcc/glibc. It would be nice if the politics there have changed (maybe they just didn't like me personally), but I don't have much hope. -- Jason McMullan <jason.mcmullan at gmail.com> "Sure, send me the latest Knoppix DVD as an attachment..." -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
