glibc CVS vs GCC 3.0 failure x86 specific ???

[Christian Iseli <chris at ludwig-alpha dot unil dot ch>]

Hi folks,

I just completed a full build and test of current glibc from CVS using gcc-3.0.
on a linux/alpha (EV56) machine.

All seems well, except a seemingly minor math failure.

Two days ago I tried on x86, and it failed miserably (as expected, from what 
I've seen in the mailing lists so far...).  So, did glibc get 
fixed, or is the current glibc/gcc3 failure x86 specific ?

Below are the alpha results.
