Grrr... found the bug: bsd.sys.mk adds -mieee to the _CPUCFLAGS variable, which is ignored if NO_CPU_CFLAGS is set. This is arguably a bug since _CPUCFLAGS is supposed to control optimization, not correctness, and setting NO_CPU_CFLAGS should improve correctness at the expense of performance and not the other way around. Any suggestions on how to fix this? DES -- Dag-Erling Smorgrav - des@ofug.org
