Description norbert_wolff 2002-12-15 08:56:01 UTC 
    Please add a note in your docs that is not possible to compile
    the GNU-libc (i tried it with 2.3.1) with the options
    "-malign-double" and/or "-m128bit-long-double".

    The increased aligment of long doubles caused by this switches
    crashes the calculations in glibc-2.3.1/io/fts.c,
    so every call of one of the stat-functions will fail...

    Thanks,
     Norbert Wolff
