It looks like calling ldexp is ambiguous because you've used using namespace streflop in the global namespace (otherwise I don't see how that namespace would be considered). That's a pretty dubious thing to do since ldexp is defined in the global namespace and this makes it ambiguous. I can possibly fix this, but it's an annoying complexity to deal with for something that you probably shouldn't do. Looking at the streflop documentation, it's intended to be protected by a namespace so that it won't affect third party code.

Sounds good. It's been a bit tedious making the changes to the spring code, but it does seem to be the right path.

Looks like this has been resolved upstream in spring, so this can be closed.

Thanks for doing that, although I might fix it eventually anyway. The code that causes the problem is used to automatically detect which floating point functions are available. For the more popular compilers, it might be better to avoid that and just use what we know they support.

I think this was fixed in trunk in r81677 and release in r81920. Only for recent compilers though.
