   Bug#1128819: Document the 000b library f   
   23 Feb 26 12:20:01   
   
   From: myon@debian.org   
      
   Source: intelrdfpmath   
   Version: 2.0u3-1   
   Severity: wishlist   
      
   Hi,   
      
   I believe the various library flavors included in libintelrdfpmath-dev   
   need some documentation. The included upstream README does not have   
   any instructions on linking, and the bit fields (000b) in the lib   
   filenames seem to be Debian-specific. I only found about their meaning   
   by reading the debian/rules file which is not shipped in the package.   
      
   So in short, please add README.Debian file for this. Maybe explaining   
   "when should you use one over the other flavor" is out of scope, but   
   at least the existence of the flavors should be mentioned.   
      
   Found while packaging documentdb which uses the library. There I   
   hardcoded -lbidgcc000 now, but I guess that wasn't the optimal choice.   
   ppc64el already complained about it:   
      
   /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libbidgcc000.a(bid_b   
   narydecimal.o) uses IBM long double, src/query/bson_compare.o uses IEEE long   
   double
