Bug#704206: teem: FTBFS[any-i386]: testsuite failures

[Adam Conrad]

Package: teem
Version: 1.11.0~svn5906-1
Followup-For: Bug #704206
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu raring ubuntu-patch



In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * Fix FTBFS on powerpc and s390 with -ffp-contract=off
  * Fix testsuite failure on any-i386 with -ffloat-store

These two different compiler flags end up fixing some FP rounding errors
unique to i386 and IBM platforms, respectively.  This is tested in Ubuntu
on i386 and powerpc and Works For Me.

It's possible that s390 doesn't support -ffp-contract=off, in which case
it would need -mno-fused-madd instead (which would have the same effect),
but I didn't have a chance to test this on an s390 machine.
