Thanks for your bug report. gcc-2.95 19990606 reports (cutting the path)

The first problem is the line

  xdouble x = dx + (1.0 - dx * b.hi) * dx;	 

where the rhs is of type double, and there is no xdouble ctor taking a
single double :-)

I believe the other problem is elaborated on the egcs web page.

In summary: The current egcs snapshot detects a number of problems in
the code, but doesn't crash. I don't know what you've intended with
the many friend declarations - after just removing all of them, the
code compiles.
