Description Paul Prince 2002-10-27 21:38:39 UTC

sqrtl is not defined in the STL on PPC archs, since PPC sqrt is the same as IA32 sqrtl.  That, however, breaks programs which call sqrtl, like OpenOffice.  This has been identified as an upstream glibc bug, but it affects compiling many packages and thus I suggest that the glibc maintainer apply a patch to work around the problem until it is addressed upstream.  I have included the patch used by the Debian PPC glibc maintainer.

Patch used by Debian: http://lists.debian.org/debian-openoffice/2002/debian-openoffice-200206/msg00173.html

Thanks,
-Paul
