>Description:
I have installed 5.2 release yesterday and got a lot of problems
with different binaries crashing with "illegal instruction" message.
For example "build world" does not work because awk and troff
crash. fsck_ufs did crash.
>How-To-Repeat:
I have not checked details, this problem might be AMD XP specific.
>Fix:
Quick look into the core files lead me to
/usr/src/lib/libc/i386/gen/ldexp.c
After changing ldexp code like
double
ldexp (double value, int exp)
{
return value*(1<<exp);
/*
double temp, texp, temp2;
texp = exp;
...
*/
}
the problem has gone. Build world works.
