I am using the one from unstable (2.6.12), paer.debian.org uses the same one, and sarti.debian.org still uses a 2.4 one.
I have found a sysctl access named kernel.unaligned-trap, which is set by default. If I clear this bit, the testcase I sent which include the source code of feholdexcept works correctly with both gcc-3.4 and with gcc-4.0. However if I use the feholdexcept from the glibc I still have a sigbus. Bye, Aurelien -- .''`.
