Re: glibc 2.0.112

   Hmm. What about the regression-test failures of the math stuff on
   Alpha and SPARC i reported for 2.1.111?  From what you write i
   should not expect them to go away with 2.1.112...  Any suggestion
   what i could try to narrow the cause of them?  I will not install a
   libc which fails the provided tests.

The SPARC math regressions are due to a bug in the fpu emulation code
in the sparc/linux kernel.  I am working on a fix, but because I am in
the middle of moving and also changing jobs at the same time it may be
a week or so before I will have a fix available.

It is not a bug in glibc.
