Description
Originated out of #2578, there are three patches for MPFR, in which they can be fully downloaded here:
http://mpfr.loria.fr/mpfr-2.4.2/allpatches
Patch 1 fixes a underflow issue with mpfr_sin_cos, that when a underflow happens, the underflow flag is not set.
Patch 2 fixes a build failure with GCC 4.4.0 on MIPS systems, which dosen't affect us, but does affect CLFS. I'll later report a ticket there about that.
Patch 3, just fixes a GMP 5.0.0 issue only if you use --with-gmp-build.
I would reopen the other ticket, but I need to change the title, and I can't do that, at least for now.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
William, why have you effectively reopened #2578? The reasoning for closure in that ticket still stands. Patch 2 fixes a CLFS-only issue and therefore should be reported at http://trac.cross-lfs.org/, not here. Patch 3 is only triggered when you use an option the we don't pass so is therefore of no use to us. Patch 1 admittedly fixes a bug, but hey, all software has bugs, and I point blank refuse to start trawling through all of our upstream repos to cherry-pick bug fixes of theirs and put them in the book.
Please do not raise another ticket for this issue.
