This seems to be a regression in Debian's C compiler. I came across a
similar failure recently, which we found using the 'paranoia' floating
point test suite from netlib.org.
The C version of 'paranoia' when run on a machine with physical 68882
works fine when built with an old compiler. And the Fortran version
(dpara.f) built with a recent f77 compiler also works fine on physical
68882.
But recent Debian C compilers for m68k don't give the expected results.
BTW, it could be that running test suites on 680x0 emulators is
contributing to the problem. For example, dpara.f under Qemu prints some
weird output:
Searching for overflow threshold:
Can " z = -y " overflow? trying it on y = -i.f^@^@^@^D^@^@^@E+00
Seems O.K.
Overflow threshold is v = 1.79769313+308
Overflow saturates at sat = i.f^@769313+308
I haven't tried this under Aranym.
[Jean-Michel, Stan, please note that there is a bug tracker entry for this
issue now, #890466, Cc'd].
