Hey,
could people please not add code in sysdeps/i386 that depends on stuff
from sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386 unless they also add a generic i386
version (or a stub that prints a error)?
Right now I'm mostly refering to Jakub's change from 2004-05-04 that
makes sysdeps/i386/fpu/e_log10f.S use LOAD_PIC_REG, which is only
defined in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/sysdeps.h. But this has
happened on other occasions too, so it isn't just a one time thing,
but it would be nice if people could take a bit more care with this
than before.
I'm not sending a patch for this yet, since I have a few other patches
brewing in my cettle that update various Hurd related code to gcc
4.0.0 stupidity, sighs...
Cheers.
