Follow-up Comment #58, bug #45507 (project octave):
I think rebasing mxe-octave on msys2 might bring in a new set of system
libraries. I have no idea whether this would include an up-to-date libm, or
even whether this is considered fixable or if the error is fundamental to the
Windows math libraries.
I don't think we want to return this test to an "xtest", because we don't want
it to just fail and say "expected failure" on GNU/Linux systems where this
must work correctly.
We do not have a way to flag a test "if this fails it is a regression, but
only on this operating system, on this other one it's ok to be completely
wrong".
Is anyone building Octave natively on Windows using mingw / msys or msys2? I
think it would be valuable if some of our Windows users following the default
branch would set up a real msys or msys2 development environment on Windows.
