Yup, that's why I wrote "libc" at some point--just because newlib incorporates both libc and libm so it's easy to think of them as part of the same library. I have no idea how it is configured. One major disadvantage to it is it is still missing most double complex functions which creates a lot of hassle, though that's an orthogonal issue. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
