Re: Call for platforms

Just a data point on the geometry test under NetBSD/i386 issue:

/etc/ld.so.conf by default now contains:
libm.so.0 machdep.fpu_present 1:libm387.so.0,libm.so.0

which means that if the sysctl machdep.fpu_present returns 1, load the
shared library libm387 to make use of the fpu.

If you remove /etc/ld.so.conf, so that ldd `which psql` does not show

-lm.0 => /usr/lib/libm387.so.0
-lm.0 => /usr/lib/libm.so.0

but only the libm.so.0 line

======================
All 76 tests passed.
======================

If you replace the /etc/ld.so.conf file and have an fpu, then the geometry
test will fail with slightly different rounding.

Do we want a specific geometry-netbsd-i386-with-fpu.out where you must
also test

% sysctl machdep.fpu_present
machdep.fpu_present = 1

?

Cheers,

Patrick

PS: AFAIK geometry-positive-zeros-bsd works for all NetBSD platforms - the
above difference is only for i386 + fpu.
