This is a tolerance issue. Udate sysdeps/hppa/fpu/libm-test-ulps. I
regenerated it on 2006-12-03, this may fix the last of those failure.

Not so, the test framework sets LOCPATH to $objdir/localedata so it
has access to recently built locales. Something is wrong with your

It is part of this patch:
http://www.parisc-linux.org/~carlos/libc-head-2007-02-05.diff
-CFLAGS-vfprintf.c = -Wno-uninitialized
+CFLAGS-vfprintf.c = -Wno-uninitialized -fno-delayed-branch

I didn't say it's fixed in a newer binutils. I meant to say that we
likely need to fix binutils :-)

Excellent! What kernel are you using?
