Actually I think that for glibc 2.1 we should just fix the bugs which were located. For one it is too late now to make major changes in libm and second, for glibc 2.2 or 2.3 we need to think about a new organization for the libm since we have to support long double not only on ix86 and m68k but also on the new architectures which use different formats (128 bit). We would like to see tests for the libm precision any time and I would appreciate if somebody could activate people with the necessary knowledge. -- Uli ---------------. drepper at gnu.org ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Cygnus Solutions `--' drepper at cygnus.com `------------------------
