Hi Graham and everybody,

what if the authors have chosen to use expect_identical precisely
because they want to spot floating point differences?

I think that if there is nobody who would seriously volunteer to submit
patches upstream that fixe the problem a the core, we should better
stop building this package (and maybe the whole Bioconductor) for
riscv64.

Have a nice day,

Charles
