Thanks for the tip! I didn't know it had such a test suite. I'll let the developers working on the C library know about it. Also, thanks for reporting that some of the headers are not self-contained. I'll forward those reports on as well. > Will sizeof(long double) be increased, or will it stay the same as > sizeof(double)? I tested it with the latest development code and they are still the same size. I don't think there are plans to change the size anytime soon, but I'll forward it on. >> Also note, to get the >> right functions and definitions included, you should have CPPFLAGS set >> to "-D_NETBSD_SOURCE -D_MINIX -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_COMPAT_MINIX" and >> LDADD set to "-lcompat_minix -lminlib" > > Please revisit these choices.
