Re: gcc 3.2.3 and trancendental functions

[jim hopper <hopperj@macconnect.com>]

it turns out that this is a know problem with gcc 3.2, fixed in 3.3. 
which is true.  i got the 3.3 snapshot from like april 21 and built it. 
trancendentals now work fine, but my tasking code hangs when i try to
instantiate a protected type.   its always something ;-)

I have no idea where to go as i can trace into the ada code and see
that its hung in a look trying to create the protected type.  but no
idea of how to fix it.  on a whim, i tried replacing pthreads with
gthreads but no change.  

any ideas would be appreciated.

using gnat 3.15 is not an option as it fails in exactly the same manner.

however when i bring the executable of my radar sim over from the
redhat 8 system the executable runs fine.  so its something thats
linked statically i would think thats hosed otherwise the executable i
brought over would hang as well.
