Build current trunk (as of yesterday) on s390 with gcc 4.7, I see a couple of
failures in the math testsuite:

ppc32 or s390? For ppc32 it's a known GCC bug (though there may not be an entry in GCC Bugzilla for it): the code sequence generated for converting integers to floating-point, on older processors, wrongly converts 0 to -0 in round-downwards mode (if -frounding-math, a more complicated sequence should be used instead that temporarily sets round-to-nearest mode).

ppc32 - I need to investigate the s390 failures separately.


thanks for the info,
Andreas
