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.
