Adding the gnulib 'vasprintf-posix' module to bootstrap.conf should do the trick. That's because the only 'long double' support that coreutils requires are: - the elementary operations, these are inlined by gcc or come from libgcc.a, - asprintf(), this comes from gnulib. The same problem with 'seq' exists on mingw and BeOS, which - like Interix - lack 'long double' support in printf(). Bruno
