Thanks,

I think I got confused by something I read in 'newlib', but that of 
course doesn't have anything to do with SLM ioldoubl.c or your 
implementation in e.g. ldtoa.c

Do I have to make a special installation of MinGW to get access to these 
functions? I've searched for ldtoa in header-files on the version of 
MinGW that I have (gcc-3.2.3-20030504-1, mingw-3.1.0, 
mingw-runtime-3.2), but didn't find any prototypes matching.
