Message-ID: <19990722233100.A28609@cons.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.1i Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG It seems the non-GPL floating point emulator is completely broken in 4.0-current. While it still boots the kernel and brings up the system, it seems to cause every floating-point using userlevel program to coredump (i.e. ping). The people in the recent thread about dropping non-FPU machines should be aware that - if they need to distribute the OS in non-GPL compatible ways - they need to repair the emulator first. Is anyone here using the non-GPL math emulator in 4.0? Installing a 4.0 snapshot on a FPU-less machine counts!
