Comment 1 Karsten Hopp 2011-09-09 11:08:38 UTC 
cat  gnulib-tests/test-float.log 
FAIL: test-float (exit: 134)
============================

test-float.c:303: assertion failed

Something is up with the LDBL_MIN_EXP and DBL_MIN_EXP definitions, a printf showed that
LDBL_MIN_EXP: -968 
DBL_MIN_EXP: -1021
Comment 2 Jiri Skala 2011-09-22 09:39:09 UTC

this workaround fixes test-float failure

The issue fixes substitution LDBL_MANT_DIG value by DBL_MANT_DIG value.

The values of LDBL_MAX and DBL_MAX are equal on ppc arch that differs from x86_64 arch.
