[MiNT] MPFR progress.....

[Keith Scroggins <kws@radix.net>]

So I built it (2.4.1) with GCC 2.95.3 and CVS MiNTLib.  Running the tests, 
5 failed:

tprintf (no output, crashes with illegal instruction with "make check")
td_sub  (no output, just passed my first "make check" tried it again and 
it crashed with bus error)
tset_ld (error with 5 or so lines of output)
tcmp_ld (ERROR for NAN (1))
tget_sj (ERROR for get_uj + ERANGE + UINTMAX_MAX (2))

I have not looked into any of these.  My guess is Vincent's work with 
fixing the GMP issue will resolve tprintf.

So, 5 out of 148 tests, thats pretty good I think.  No clue when I will 
get to dig into this further.  I did get a gmp RPM built, and I will try 
to build a mpfr RPM this week, hopefully.....

While on the topic of RPMs, are there any packages people want to see 
updated currently living in Sparemint?  I can't promise I will get to 
building it, but maybe the discussion/interest will get some action going.

I'm looking into expanding some math functions in fdlibm, mainly to 
rectify some issues with building ScummVM, but maybe doing more after I 
get the initial functions I need installed.

Also wanting to add some wchar support to MintLib for another item I have 
been working on porting for a LONG time. (can we say years??  :)  ) 
Again, not something I am going to get done quickly.

Anyway, enough babbling.....
