[B2-devel] IEEE FPU build problems

[Brian J. <bjj...@us...>]

Gwenole,

I'm having quite a bit of trouble getting the ieee fpu to build on
MIPS/IRIX:

- Several of the header files declare routines as "extern inline" or
  "PUBLIC inline".  The MIPSPro compilers don't like this, but they
  are fine with "static inline".  (They really don't need "inline" at
  all -- they automatically inline code as appropriate.)  core.h,
  exceptions.h, flags.h, rounding.h

- There are some #includes of "compiler/compemu.h", which doesn't seem
  to be in CVS.  Removing them doesn't seem to hurt anything.
  basilisk_glue.cpp, newcpu.cpp.

- On IRIX, sizeof(double) == 8 and sizeof(long double) == 16.  This
  interacts badly with fpu/types.h:  it makes types.h define both
  USE_LONG_DOUBLE and USE_QUAD_DOUBLE, which leads to multiple
  definitions of fpu_extended_shape in fpu/mathlib.h.  Turning off
  either of the USE_xxx defines doesn't help; I get other errors.

I can send you the make output if you want.  What would help?
