Folks,
I suspect there's folks out there with a '387 and folks without.
I suspect further that the X11 server and basic stuff is linked with -lm.
Well, the standard libm.a is really *slow* and since there will be quite
a few of us who have a co-processor, may I suggest/request that someone
in the know (and with enough disk space) re-compile X and put the object
files in a sensible place ?

BTW drop me a note if this has been done already.

Thanks,
	Bernard
