Re: [PATCH 1/1] fenv support arm

[Joel Sherrill <joel@rtems.org>]

Szabolcs, is the code in question compiled with any feature flags set?

I see on Linux that the prototypes would be triggered by _GNU_SOURCE while
in newlib, it is _BSD_SOURCE. Is that possibly contributing?

Can you post a test case? The command line that is failing would also help.

I'd like to not guess at what's wrong.
