Yes but customer do use DFP, Just not the customers you have talked to.
So why not build libdfp for 970 as base for emulation and power6 with
hardware DFP. You can alias the power6 libdfp for power7/8
Then I am OK with skipping power6 for glibc.
libdfp currently isn't Fedora. glibc doesn't use _Decimal, so I don't
see how these things are related.
Would you please elaborate?
Thanks,
