Replying to [comment:22 jdemeyer]:
> By the way, my comment should not prevent this patch from being included
in 4.5.3 if that was the plan. If this patch works, I'm certainly happy
with that. I just wanted to indicate that there might be better ways to
solve the issue.
The:
{{{for machine_hardware in ix86 i386 i486 i586 i686 x86_64 i86pc ia64}}}
was there before - I only added {{{i86pc}}} and changed {{{x}}} to
{{{machine_hardware}}}, as I thought it was a bit more informative.
The fpu patch has never been applied on OS X - note the original code
specifically checked the platform was Linux. But since the C code used
Linux-specific header files, I could not simply apply it everywhere.
Given SYMPOW is going to be withdrawn from Sage since it's poorly written
and unmaintained, I think this is enough. You may notice today that Bill
said on {{{sage-devel}}} that the author has made it clear he has no
desire to maintain this package, as it works on his computer.
I really want to avoid adding things to this code, since no matter what I
do, it is still going to be very poor. This solves the only remaining
Solaris x86 problem and is one less problem for the Cygwin port.
