Fair enough -- my apologies for the churn. In this I expect the fix should be easy for anyone who is comfortable making port-specific changes on the ports whose builds were broken. > If I know *what* about sparc and sh3? :) > > I'm happily clueless about libm.

We don't have a comprehensive test suite for libm -- we're incrementally working toward one, and this is one step. In this case, the only question is: will s_nearbyint.c work for the floating-point representation on sparc and sh3? I assume they use IEEE 754 like everyone else on the planet except VAX, so the answer is almost certainly `yes'. If so, the only work is to edit the libm Makefile to include s_nearbyint.c on those platforms.
