FPU test on RedHat7.1

The attached tests fails on my RedHat7.1 system, but works fine on my
old HardHat5.1.
Anyone got any idea.

compile:
g++ -o fpu_test fpu_test.cc

Many FPU related tests in the current glibc from CVS failed on MIPS. I
am planning to look into them. But I need to find time and docs on MIPS
FPU.

The file sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/e_remainder.c seems to have changed since
glibc-2.2.2.
I have attached the glibc-2.2.2 remainder file, which seems to work
better.

I believe it is a MIPS FPU related issue. glibc tries to do

1.7976931348623157e+308 - 8.5720688574901386e+301 * 2097152

and expects -1.9958403095e+292. However, on mips, I got -inf. Could you
please look into it?

Thanks.

I believe this is ok, 8.5720688574901386e+301 * 2097152 is greater than
1.7976931348623157e+308 (which is the highest floating point number you can
represent).
So 1.7976931348623157e+308 - 8.5720688574901386e+301 * 2097152 do give -Inf on
(I guess) all other architectures than i386, which have a double extended (80
bit / 64 bit mantisse) precision.

I have tried the same calculation on a Sun (Sparc) and it also gives -Inf.
So I guess the problem is in the e_remainder function.
