I've seen the issues with mieee I'll add to my default CFLAGS, might want to |
2 |
add that to the Alpha Handbook Documentation. I've seen the ieee problem |
3 |
mostly with the native compaq compiler though, both on Alpha-linux and |
4 |
Tru64. |

|

I'll see if I can find the pages referencing the PIC problems again, took me |
7 |
a while to find it. |

Hmm, can't find the reference to PIC again but did find the above references |
15 |
to a patch for the ELF relocate problem for the Xserver module loader on the |
16 |
Alpha platform.. |

I'm running xorg-x11-6.8 on XP1000 with no problems without needing to |
34 |
explicitly specify -fPIC |

Oh, really? I wasn't aware of that. Could you point to the pages? |

This isn't related to -fPIC. I include -mieee in CFLAGS on alpha |
48 |
which would probably fix that problem for you. (I'd like it if |
49 |
everybody would include -mieee in CFLAGS on alpha... there's almost no |
50 |
code out there that's written to work with the non-ieee behavior, so |
51 |
it's just asking for trouble to build without it) |

Good to hear it's working... I don't have an ATI adapter on alpha to |
61 |
test at the moment. My daily workstation has an Elsa GLoria. |
