Hi,

Does nobody else has problems with the current egcs in the CVS (i.e.,
not the versions on the branch).  On ix86 I get a completely unusable
result since the floating-point handling is horribly broken.  This is
what enquire prints:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PROPERTIES OF FLOAT
Base = -2147483648

*** WARNING: Function return or parameter passing faulty? (This is a guess.)

PROPERTIES OF DOUBLE
Base = -2147483648

*** WARNING: Function return or parameter passing faulty? (This is a guess.)

PROPERTIES OF LONG DOUBLE
Base = -2147483648

*** WARNING: Function return or parameter passing faulty? (This is a guess.)

Float expressions are evaluated in a higher precision than double,
   using 1 base digits
Double expressions are evaluated in a higher precision than double,
   using 1 base digits
Long double expressions are evaluated in a higher precision than double,
   using 1 base digits
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another problem is that `make' went on building the compiler.
Shouldn't enquire report this as a severe problem and stop the
compilation?
