Re: [Qemu-devel] [Bug 645662] Re: Python 3.1.2 math errors with Qemu 0.12.5

[Arno Wagner]

I had a brief look at softfloat. In principle, it should fix the 
issue, but only if the FPU uses 80-bit double-extended-precision
internally. I guess the qemu FPU is still stuck at 64 bit double
internally and that does not cut it for some calculations.

Just to be sure, I re-tested the code from comment 1 and it does
work as expected with a real FPU.

Regards,
Arno

  When doing the regression tests for Python 3.1.2 with Qemu 0.12.5, (Linux 
version 2.6.26-2-686 (Debian 2.6.26-25lenny1)),
  gcc (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) 4.3.2, Python compiled from sources within qemu,
  3 math tests fail, apparently because the floating point unit is buggy. Qmeu
