Now for some comments... I originally wrote the libm.a replacement to get around some inefficiencies in System V r3.2. The world was rosy, gdb could examine the floating point stack and I could easily see what my routines were doing. Now I have System V r4.0.3, gdb cannot examine the floating point stack and sdb is even worse :-( so libm development went into retirement. I am interested in starting up again (although my PhD work *has* to come first) and I have a few suggestions for things that could be done easily. If anyone is interested in working on this stuff please email me.
