Does anyone know anything about the Cygnus patch to GCC 2.6.3 to deal
with the FDIV bug? It seems similar to what Digital Mars, Borland C,
and OpenWatcom support. However, neither DJGPP v1's compile nor any
subsequent GCCs seem to have incorporated this feature. Granted, it's
unofficial, maybe they didn't think it worked well enough, or maybe
full FPU emulation was considered more accurate or better somehow.
Just curious if anybody has any thoughts. (I don't have a buggy
Pentium to test either.)
