Your previous message (the one from January) only mentioned FP 
instructions that don't reference memory.  "fldcww  2(%esp)" does 
reference memory, so I didn't change that.

Is there any place where these changes in Binutils are described?  I 
would like to avoid new problems with every new snapshot, if possible.

hypotl is not in the library, so no prototype is needed.  The source is 
there, but it isn't compiled when the library is built (well, at least it 
shouldn't be compiled).

We now have hypot.S (written by Eric Rudd) as the source of hypot
functiopn.  I left hypot.c in the sources after some trivial changes
to make it hypotl, but since it is largely untested and undocumented, I
didn't add it to the makefile.  It is there for the time when C9X is
out, which will most probably require long double functions like hypotl.

Thanks, I corrected that already a day or two ago.
