gcc has a bug in that it compiles assuming that a M68881 floating point coprocessor is available, when I compile it on cream-of-wheat. I cannot run it on kaboom (a 3/50). Additionally, I cannot run gcc itself on a 3/50 because it's compiled assuming a M68881 fp coprocessor! The default should be the equivalent of the Sun cc -fsoft switch. or a switch sould be provided to get -fsoft behavior and a manual page should be made available to document it. -------
