   My efforts to get gcc-2.0 working under SCO 3.2 have not yet been honored

Mmmh, SCO 3.2 ? Well, last time I've tried to compile gcc-1.40 I encountered
quite the same problem: ldexp() in libc.a is broken, at least in ODT 1.0.
Since gcc only uses some fixed values for the exponent (16 and 32), I replaced
it with this 'Two-Minutes-Egg':

/* Braindamaged SCO 3.2 has apparently a broken ldexp -
 * whatever argumets you provide it reacts with Floating Exception !
 * (mj) cadlab, 8.11.91
 */
double ldexp(x,n)
    double x;
int n;
{
        if (n>0) {
                while (n--) x *= 2;
        }
        return x;
}

You might add this to config/i386.c, savely guarded with a proper #ifdef for
SCO. Sorry, I can't check now if this is still working because we got rid of
this braindamaged machine (Siemens Nixdorf WX200 under ODT 1.0) and its rotten
and obsolete OS. 

Happy compiling !     Michael
