Hi, the following two patches are required to make eglibc 2.13 compile and work for powerpc cores with 'SPE' FPU (e500 cores e.g. used by freescale's p2020 CPU). These patches were tested on debian sid's version of eglibc 2.13-8, compiled with gcc-4.4.6. on a p2020 system running debian's (unofficial) powerpcspe port [1]. The result of 'make check' lists a few errors that are not anticipated by Debian (debian/testsuite-checking/expected-results-powerpc-linux-gnu-libc): bug-nextafter.out, Error 18 bug-nexttoward.out, Error 18 test-double.out, Error 1 test-fenv.out, Error 1 test-float.out, Error 1 test-idouble.out, Error 1 test-ifloat.out, Error 1 test-misc.out, Error 1 tst-setcontext-fpscr.o, Error 1 Looking into the logs these all complain about exception, overflow, rounding behaviour or minor deviations of floating point results, which might just be due to hardware limitations of the SPE FPU that is designed for signal processing and not scientific computing. The tst-setcontext-fpscr testcase fails to compile, as it uses ppc FPU assembly code. I haven't signed a copyright assignment for eglibc yet, but won't hesitate to do so if required (though I somehow doubt that my two-line patch local-no-fma.patch qualifies for copyright protection). The local-Powerpc-trampline-consider-__NO_FPRS__.patch is from Sebastian Andrzej Siewior (CC), copied from the eglibc sources in the debian-ports powerpcspe archive. We'll have to ask him about the assignment. cheers, David [1] http://wiki.debian.org/PowerPCSPEPort -- GnuPG public key: http://dvdkhlng.users.sourceforge.net/dk.gpg Fingerprint: B17A DC95 D293 657B 4205 D016 7DEF 5323 C174 7D40
