RMS has given | explicit permission to use GPL + exception for the software | floating-point emulation code, but not for any other part of GLIBC. I am confused. My interest in libgcc-math is that it helps solve thorny issues with libstdc++-v3 and my expectation is that we can make modification to libgcc-math so that we can't advantage of it. Now, I understand that we cannot make modification to libgcc-math without modifying GLIBC? Is that correct. -- Gaby
