If you want to support the old library then everything should be renamed: msun -> libm libm -> libmould (sic) We also need dynamic support for the i387 functions. -DHAVE_FPU is no good because it can't be used for the distribution libraries. Something like if (_have_i387) result = _i387_pow(x, y); else result = __ieee754_pow(x, y); would add less time overhead than shared linkage. Bruce
