It just finished building. Indeed, the 'vfp' patch fixes the 'printf("%f\n", 0.5); prints 0.000000' and general 'floating point is broken' on my big-endian hardfloat FPA ARM platform. > >Maybe let's rename it to 'glibc-fp-byteorder.patch', and remove the > >misleading comment about it being for soft-float at the top of the > >file? > > But what would be the correct comment that describes exactly when and why > this patch is needed? (I previously thought it to be for softfloat only > indeed). It's definitely needed for hardfloat. So I'd think it's needed for big-endian systems in any case, and for VFP on little-endian systems too. Someone would have to verify that though. cheers, Lennert ------ Want more information?
