- We have been trying to compile GCC 2.3.3 on one of our 386bsd machines
- and it is failing in enquire.c.
-
- from the make...
-
- [ 6 ]make LANGUAGES=c enquire
- ./xgcc -B./ -DIN_GCC -g -DNO_MEM -DNO_STDDEF -DNO_LONG_DOUBLE_IO -O0
- -I. -c ./enquire.c
- ./enquire.c: In function `fprop':
- ./enquire.c:2307: floating constant out of range
- *** Error code 1
-
- Stop.
-
-
- So, trying a different tack, we tried compiling it with the cc on bsd
- 4.4 (which is really gcc-1.39). This time, enquire compiles, but
- fails when trying to create float.h, printing the message "*** Program
- got loss-of-precision trap!".
-
- Any thoughts on this?
-
-
- Thanks,
-
- Colin
