Ok.

So, I heard it on the 'tubes that 8.0 is in BETA atm, and will rock
pretty damned hard.=20

But, I have a few questions, being a PowerPC user, and also having some
disappointment with the state of things in 7.2 especially on this
platform.=20

First, has libm finally had the log2 functions defined in the C99 spec
added? (this is an issue dating back to 2005, standards/83845 )

Second, I'm aware that altivec support is implemented in -CURRENT, as of
some months ago, will this be stable enough for release?=20

Third (more a support question), what's a good and quick way to clean
out every port? I'll need to recompile everything (damn tier 2 ;))

Fourth, how is the new shared versioning meant to work?

Thanks in advance,=20

-- Horst.
