[randolph@tausq.org: [parisc-linux] glibc update]

R,

I'll see about giving it a try on my 712/60 and 715/50's

Eventually I'll get that assembly trace done.

This reminds me, in general I keep forgetting to add the location of
/xxx/glibc-2.2.4/hppa-linux/obj to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This nips some of
the tests in the bud since ld goes looking for the wrong library.

Have you tried running the tests by hand and seeing what the output is?

What is the output of running:
/home/randolph/gcc-3.0/glibc-2.2.4/hppa-linux/obj/math/test-fenv.out
