This one looks ok to me.

I tried to save all the messages you sent to classpath-patches, and I
don't see this one.  But I might have lost it.

I checked in a hack to work around a buffer overflow I was seeing on
PPC64.  See this patch and PR:

2005-09-15  Tom Tromey  <address@hidden>

        Workaround for PR classpath/23863:
        * native/fdlibm/mprec.h (MAX_BIGNUM_WDS): Define as 128 on
        non-Pack_32 platforms.

I think a better solution would be to find a newer version of the
mprec code and import it.  I have seen versions of it out there that
dynamically allocate buffers.

Also there is this PR

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24035

It has a patch but I don't like it much, as it assumes that an 'int'
is 32 bits.
