The problem is not a floating constant out of range. The problem is a floating point stack overflow. To get passed this, manually compile fold-const.c using -S in place of -c. Edit fold-const.s and replace "fsts" with "fstps" in _real_value_truncate. Then assemble (as -o fold-const.o fold-const.s). There is also a circular dependancy for protoize.o/unprotoize.o in the Makefile. Add the lines touch protoize.o touch unprotoize.o after the line touch stamp-proto After this "make bootstrap" will run to completion. >Brett> I would not worry about it too much, if you have a look at the >Brett> comments in the .h file enquire generates you will see that the errors >Brett> that it has detected are rather infesteminal (ie the order of 1e-308) >Brett> so I suspect the rounding is wrong rather than anything else more >Brett> serious. enquire won't generate a .h file if you can't compile it -- Hendrik Groeneveld rick@mav.com Software Engineer (206) 743-6659 Maverick International Mukilteo Washington.
