1. Konrad, this isn't a *new* problem, right?  That is, 
this code hasn't changed in ages.  I'd expect it to fail 
the same way in, e.g., 2.1.

2. I know of no reason to avoid -lieee.  Someone checked in 
a patch to stop linking with it sometimes, but the reason 
for the change wasn't recorded.  People do lots of random 
stuff <0.5 wink>.  If you find a sensible reason to avoid 
it, let me know.
