Message-ID: <19990712112802.A4800@cons.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.1i Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Moin, I'm going to work on FreeBSD's floating point support, but I need to test my changes on systems using the FPU emulators (non-GPL and GPL). Is there any way to use these emulators on a system that has a hardware FPU? Guessing from LINT's comments, you had to leave out npx and include one of the emulators, but -current's config refuses to config a kernel file without npx support. I also tried to add "disable" to npx's config line, which compiles and runs ok, but still uses the hardware FPU (timing and exception test).
