I hope that someone can help with with this problem.  I've tried
compile the 2.0.5 kernel in both the ALPHA and RELEASE versions 
and have had the same error.  I'm using the stock makefiles.  Each
time this is what I get:

loading kernel

kern_sysctl.o:  Undefined symbol (_hw_float) referenced from text segment

***  Error code 1

Stop.

My C programming ability is very minimal.  This seems like a fairly
straight forward problem involving a library file that's not being
included, but I can't find which library or object file contains
hw_float.
