As Peter pointed out, it's the initials of the author, not GNU. And that said, it looks like gdtoa is here to stay given that it's just the updated version of our older strtod() routines. I'll just use __FreeBSD_version > 500112 as the method for detection. -sc -- Sean Chittenden [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Sean Chittenden <sean@chittenden.org> iD8DBQE+uZR73ZnjH7yEs0ERAp8bAKCUGO+36RaV4FK0QIlkgS3lYZwYWACdErXk 8+d6rVYo56jQjOS2Ectc6Ms= =SVX1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----home | help
