here's an update on this. i tried a couple of different things to
rule out what can be the problem. i got an nslu2 that i set up with a
big endian firmware that runs a different kernel (2.6.16) version than
my other board. the results were exactly consistent between these
boards. i also tried different crossbinutils, but got the same
results again. this is as expected, but i just had to make sure it
wasn't anything silly.
these results are (everything compiled with -CfSOFT for big endian):
1) writeln('Hello World') outputs "Hello WorldHello W". all other
writeln and readln calls seem to work after that.
2) i get "Runtime error 207" when i attempt floating point operations.
then i flashed the nslu2 with little endian firmware and everything
works perfectly with softfloat (after i recompiled ppcrossarm and my
test program, obviously). i haven't tested extensively, but something
like format('%.2f', [a/b]) works well. good job to all who's been
working on this.
so i guess the problem lies with big endian...
thanks
henry
