System:
3/160 with MC68881 and 4 Meg of memory
SunOS 4.1.1
Usual peripherals.
Today I had occassion to recompile the kernal. As make was running, I
noticed that it called cc with '-fsoft'. Since we have the MC68881 on the
cpu board I thought I would make use of it. I changed
/usr/kvm/sys/sun3/conf/Makefile.src to use '-f68881' and reran /etc/config.
The make now calls cc with '-f68881' and runs fine until it gets to
'loading vmunix'
where it croaks with a
'f68881_used undefined'
error. What gives? Does it not make any difference to the kernal which
floating point option I use? Is my MC68881 just a glorified heat sink?
Did I miss a module when I loaded the system?
