I thought that the i387 functions in the math library that I maintain
for NetBSD and have made available to DJGPP users were safe from the
pentium fp bugs because they do not use fdiv. But yesterday I was
informed that 12 instructions are effected.
I will be implementing intel's recommended workarounds, and should
have a new library ready for ftp by the end of next week.
A patch to gcc will also be required for accurate fp on the pentium.
That will be up to others to provide when it's ready. Until then,
upgrade to a i486. :-)
