Hi Piotr, and thanks for the report.  Can you please rerun with 'make -k
check' to ensure the rest of the testsuite is okay?

This would indicate a bug in the gnulib *printf replacements.  That
particular line is:

    char *result;
    int retval =
      my_asprintf (&result, "%Lg %d", (long double) 1.5, 33, 44, 55);
    ASSERT (result != NULL);
    ASSERT (strcmp (result, "1.5 33") == 0);

So, what _did_ your compiler/C library print instead of the expected "1.5"
when printing the long double value 1.5?  Also, attaching config.log would
be useful for showing us if gnulib detected any *printf bugs in your
compilation environment.
