The problem is it is very hard to do that on my MIPS box. That is why
I wanted to use x86 for that purpose. I spent some time on the old IEEE
math library and know it is reasonably decent. I don't want to waste
my time on the IBM library if it is designed specifically for certain
machines. If Linux/PPC is ok with the IBM library, it is very likely
MIPS is not the machine the IBM library is designed for.
