True :)
The parameter here is a user-supplied measure of the entropy being added. You
can fix it to an integral constant

The -Ddouble=long hack might very well cause problems with standard headers.
I’m assuming you are not talking about x86 or any other platform for which
there is assembly support.

Note, however that emulated floating point tends to add code
size and startup overhead even when not called.
Hence the need to compile with an option to not use floating
point at all, at least on platforms that don't have platform-

This is compiler-dependent, and because you didn't specify what platform
you're targeting or what compiler you're using, there's no way for us to
provide an answer. Check your compiler's documentation. GCC, for example,
provides software-emulated floating point for platforms without hardware

There are other places, too, like bio_print, the poly135 code, etc. Good
luck...
