*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***

I compiled a 68000 cross-compiler on a 3b2 successfully I thought.
However when I tried to use it to compile some floating point
libraries the compiler core-dumped due to an illegal instruction.
Here is the sdb output:

The c statement that is involved is:
	p->fpn.dval = p->tn.lval;

where fpn and tn are structures in an union and dval is a double
and lval is a long. Here is the disassembly of the c statement.

[37]	2111:  85 c8 2c 40                   MOVWD   0x2c(%r8),%r0
	2115:  a5 40 c8 14                   MOVDD   %r0,0x14(%r8)

if somebody could tell me what is wrong with the instruction,
i.e. is the opcode invalid, is the addressing mode invalid, etc.
and if so is there a fix for this problem please send mail to

Thank you in advance.
