------- Comment #3 from amodra at bigpond dot net dot au 2005-11-16 11:42 ------- I analysed one of these failures quite a while ago. The conclusion I came to was that the errors were due to excess precision. gcc-4.1 makes more use of multiply-accumulate instructions. You could try compiling glibc with -mno-fused-madd.
