Uhm - sure that mod_status and a few others didn't also need this on some platforms due to double/float arithmetic (statistics?) It's always hard to be sure for all platforms, but at least it works on Solaris and Linux, and I can't find any libm symbols in mod_status. The floats there are only used in simple divisions and printf. As I understand it, Windows builds are not influenced by these changes, because they use a separate build apparatus? Regards, Rainer

Correct, but if I remember right, manipulating long long's into doubles on solaris 8 and several other operating systems involves libm stub helpers.

I compiled all trunk modules and could load them, so no missing symbols. I do the same change regularly for 2.2.x, so I know it works there to (but didn't test there with all more exotic modules).

Cool, leaving the change on trunk, we can enhance it later after we determine an appropriate AP_NEEDS_LIBM macro test for the particulars. This is what alpha's are for :)
