I tried several times. All my mails were bounced back. In case you
missed it, there was a major FP bug fix in gcc 2.11c. Could you please
recompile all the X11 with gcc 2.11c + new binutils.tar.Z on banjo?
BTW, I will make a new shared lib for X11 0.2 with gcc 2.11b. I was
told some bugs in xv were related to FP, which was very buggy in pre
gcc 2.11b. You may want to recompile xv with gcc 2.11c + new
binutils.tar.Z.
