Package: g77-2.95 Version: 1:2.95.4-2 Severity: important
Greetings,
The f__cabs() function in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/libg2c.a fails with SIGFPE under certain conditions on alpha. This is because alpha math is not ieee-compliant. Therefore, on alpha please use -mieee to build that library -- or at least the libf2c/libF77/cabs.c source within it -- which will force ieee compliance and prevent the SIGFPE at the cost of a small speed penalty.
Unfortunately, this causes one of the lapack tests to fail, and prevents that package from building, hence the important severity.
Thank you, --
-Adam P.
