Description of problem: See: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36090 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-2.8-2
Should be fixed in glibc-2.8-3. Build available here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=48111
Can someone verify the fix, or give me a suggestion about how to verify it?
It wasn't fixed, just worked around. The real fix is being checked into GCC today, so too late for F9. Anyway, to verify cacoshl etc., just look for build-ppc64-linuxnptl/math/test-ldouble.out and build-ppc64-linuxnptl/math/test-ildoubl.out in TESTING DETAILS in glibc 2.8-2 vs. 2.8-3 ppc64 build.log. In 2.8-2 you will see a lot of errors, in 2.8-3 it isn't present (because the test succeeded). On ppc/ppc64 you need to ignore all the power6/ failures, because the lame koji buildboxes don't have Altivec support, to get a clean testing you need to build on Power6 or at least some Power box with Altivec ISA (e.g. G5).
Thanks for the info, Jakub. Since we have a workaround in F9 I'm going to move this off the blocker list. I'm moving it to F9Target, under the assumption that the real fix will show up as a F9 update.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
The new gcc has long been deployed. Closing.
