[Bug libgcj/26483] New: Wrong parsing of doubles when interpreted

["konqueror at gmx dot de" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

I tried to run the attached test case on IA64 native and interpreted. The bad
news is that both give totally different results:

Native:

mkoch@merulo:~$ gcj-4.0 DoubleTest.java -o doubleTest --main=DoubleTest -g
mkoch@merulo:~$ ./doubleTest
5.0E-324

Interpreted:

mkoch@merulo:~$ gij-4.0 DoubleTest
8.881784197001252E-16

The interpreted case is wrong. This seems to be a bug in fdlibm as
jamvm/classpath has the same bug. This bug only happens on IA64 as far as I
know. E.g. it makes building GNU classpath fail with ecj. I wonder what GCJ
does that makes this work in the native case ...
