Can you post a small test case?

  H.J.

       Did you see my example (posted in March egcs-bugs)

  No problem under glibc-2.1  Trouble with glibc-2.0.6 & glibc-2.0.7pre2
  The problen is not numerical precision (Jim Wilson), but in-lining asm.

  gcc -o tst -O2 -mpentiumpro tst.c     Works
  gcc -o tst -O2 -mpentium    tst.c     Fails
  gcc -o tst -O2 -m486        tst.c       "
