There is nothing particularly special about the floating point handling.
I have not tried compiling it with the 1.3.2 compiler but with -current
(still the same version of GCC) I just did

cd pkgsrc/x11/lesstif
make install

and it built and installed it.

Have not noticed programs crashing due to lesstif. With nedit and 0.85
there appeared to be several redraw problems occasionally with the fonts
and sometimes I had problems with the stats line. I'll rebuild it with
0.86 and see if the problems have gone.
