I checked in the patch that removed the -lieee link in some cases. I don't remember the details off the top of my head, but I can go digging in the SF patch logs if it's important. As I recall, someone reported problems on a platform (HPUX?) where link with ieee caused problems. I didn't have access to the platform in question. So I applied the patch on a Linux box and ran the regression test; it reported no errors, so I assumed the patch fixed some other platform and did mine no harm. At the moment, I would assume that the patch still helps some other platform but might not be right on Linux. On the other hand, it sounds like Tim has a patch that will cause Linux to do the right thing. It's hard to say much about what should or should not happen since neither the language reference nor the regression tests specifies much about what should happen with fp. Jeremy
