[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48365] __run-test_suite_ FAIL for assert.m (tolerances)

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #48365 (project octave):

I seem to remember that the extra precision was more of an issue with older,
32-bit processors.  Modern processors with SSE intstructions were always using
64-bit doubles.  This, anyways, was some of the background for the
--enable-float-truncate option that is turned on by default now for all
platforms (only affects sorting).

So, if FPUCW isn't going to fix it, then I think a direct test written in C++
to see if it is really a difference between libc implementations is in order.
