Hi,

When trying to compile erlang-10.1.10 from pkgsrc on NetBSD/sparc it
fails tragically with:

checking for unreliable floating point exceptions... panic: fpu_cleanup:
NO fault
syncing disks...

Then the system hangs. Is there a way to bypass this test on sparc?

Only by hacking erts/configure so that the embedded fpe-test.c
file doesn't compile or does exit(1) before fiddling with your
SPARC's FPU.

But that is one _seriously_ broken kernel. Surely fixing the
kernel is more appropriate than limiting Erlang?
