Hi

Since all the failures seem to involve very large arguments, my guess
would be that they are not critical.

There should be output showing the actual numerical difference for the
special functions - I'd suggest taking a look at that.  When a
different compiler is used the differences are sometimes just outside
the tolerance and can be neglected.
