Description dany 2001-05-30 12:40:34 UTC 
Testing of libxml2 on Alpha/Linux platform fails if xpath.c is not compiled
with -mieee.

This problem exists at least in libxml2-2.3.{5,6,9}.

I have suggested changes to configure and Makefile.in, where can I send
them?

FWIW my compiler is gcc version egcs-2.90.27 980315 (egcs-1.0.2 release)

Comment 3 Daniel Veillard 2001-06-06 16:17:22 UTC 
Hum, configure and Makefile.in are generated files,
so patches to them are not really useful. I made
a simpler version just adding -mieee to CFLAGS and 
commited it:

Geert Kloosterman <geertk@ai.rug.nl> reported the same problem
and agreed with the fix so I hope this does indeed fix the problem.

should be shipped in 2.3.11, hope it's closed
