Subject: [Bug math/592] New: ia64 math library needs updating
Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2004 05:52:00 -0000
Message-id: <20041130055154.592.davidm@hpl.hp.com>
X-SW-Source: 2004-11/msg00201.html
List-Id: <glibc-bugs.sourceware.org>

The ia64 source code used to build libm is based on a very old Intel libm.  The
current version of the Intel libm (v2.1) is much improved in speed (up to 5
times faster), accuracy, and the coverage of functions provided.

The proposed patch brings the ia64 libm in sync with Intel libm v2.1 and does so
in an automatic (script-based) fashion such that it will be much easier to keep
the glibc libm for ia64 in sync with Intel's version.
