[kaffe] Kaffe ieee754_scalb - uClibc status

[Gustavo Guillermo Pérez]

Hello list, here the update info abour building kaffe on uClibc.
1)I'm not going to use X and awt.
2)Do not want native language support.
3)kaffe 1.1.6 and CVS, are the same proccess
4)uClibc version 0.9.28 (cvs snapshot)

ISSUE:
Kaffe still not want to load shared libraries as many other programs do on 
uClibc then, the use of --enable-static --with-staticlib is mandatory.
You still need jikes, build them static on libc env and copy to chrooted env, 
if you just will use the jre and not javac, you'll not need anymore jikes you 
can delete them after kaffe build.

My Configure line:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/kaffe --without-esd 
--without-classpath-gtk-awt --without-alsa --disable-nls --enable-static 
--with-staticlib --enable-gmp

It will produce at time of linking:

In the file: namespace.h (generated by build_mathnamespace)
#define isnan KaffeMath_isnan
#define finite KaffeMath_finite

This two definitions isnan and finite, does not appears in the code :(
But isnan and finite are being used on __ieee754_scalb
We can enable the special definition _SCALB_INT just for uclibc (remember this 
is a special build).
apply this temporary patch over libraries/clib/fdlibm/e_scalb.c (we use the 
alternative definitions)

---------------------------------

Kaffe still build proper on uClibc and works faster and good as expected for 
me.
:) please if you see something helpful, let me know.
