I have run into many problems with the <floatingpoint.h> include file.  As
far as I can tell, it just a plain error in the file but I am not really
sure. The following is a condensed version of the errors I get when trying
to compile.

"/usr/include/sys/ieeefp.h", line 21: redeclaration of fp_nearest
"/usr/include/sys/ieeefp.h", line 22: redeclaration of fp_tozero
 .
 .  much more
 .
"/usr/include/floatingpoint.h", line 25: illegal type combination
"/usr/include/floatingpoint.h", line 26: illegal type combination
"/usr/include/floatingpoint.h", line 26: syntax error at or near symbol [
"/usr/include/floatingpoint.h", line 26: unknown size
"/usr/include/floatingpoint.h", line 30: illegal type combination

The latter part seems like a typo in the file.  Does anyone out there have
any solutions to this problem or is SUN already fixing the problem with
the next ver OS?

Thanks,
