Hi Michael,

I wonder whether if the code below needs further examination (in ldtoa.c):

#if defined(HAVE_STDLIB_H)
#  if !defined(_ISOC99_SOURCE)
#     define _ISOC99_SOURCE
#  endif
#  include <stdlib.h>
#endif

it would be interesting to see what happens if one removes the
lines:

#  if !defined(_ISOC99_SOURCE)
#     define _ISOC99_SOURCE
#  endif

?

Incidentally I'm starting to agree with your previous analysis of the
ppc platform (a while ago) when you queried the reliability of the
runtime dejagnu tests on the ppc platform.  There are complete
failures on linking hello world - which cannot be true given that the
compiler builds itself..

regards,
Gaius
