I just tried to compile sc 6.10, and gcc had problems with one of the
files.  It turns out the following program won't compile with my
gcc 1.37: 

main()
{
printf("%f %f\n", 1e-12, 1e-6);
}

Those two floating point constants result in syntax errors in the
assembler -- the compiler generates ":.0e-13" instead of "1.0e-12".  Can
anyone else reproduce this?  I'm running ESIX without a 387.
