Package: binutils Version: 2.21.90.20111004-2 Severity: important Hello,
This code: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { long l = strtold(argv[1], NULL); printf("%ld\n", l*1327); return 0; } fails to compile on sparc with -mcpu=v8 with the latest gcc/binutils from unstable: jurij@debian:~/gcc$ gcc -v Using built-in specs.
