I went to build gcc 2.3.3 a couple of days ago, and, after configuring
it with i386-bsd4.3, it died in enquire.c on a "floating point constant"
out of range error at line 2307
(where the code is like while ((Diff(Diff(b, ONE), ONE) == ZERO); where
ZERO and ONE are defined to be 0.0L and 1.0L and Diff returns the difference
of two double numbers...)
Replacing the ZERO and ONE with 0.0 1.0 causes the program to COMPILE fine,
but then die on a floating point inaccuracy error or something like that.
Are any patches required to build it, or am I just missing something simple
here...?
Thanks!
TOodlepip!
Marc 'em.
