I tested 20010420 snapshot of CVS tree.
I see very strange thing.
Though 'make check' was ok, compiled 'test-ifloat' emits folowing erros
while being executed under glibc-20010418 snapshot. It sometimes emits errors
and some times doesn't. The ratio of fail to success is approximately 50%.
Environements are the almost same as before. Now
kernel-2.4.3-ac10(compile with 'CONFIG_MK6=y') and glibc-20010418 runs on my
system.
If there were no hardware problems on my system(like deficiency of K6 or
K6-II+ CPU), this might show problem of test-ifloat code, or Might this
problem related with kernel version?
