Subject: something broke ruby floats


Noticed this after rebuilding ruby (with configure args 
--disable-pthread --enable-shared):

~/src/ruby> RUBYOPT='' ./ruby -e 'x=0.123; puts x'
123.0
~/src/ruby> ldd ./ruby
	linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0x00b0e000)
	libruby.so.1.8 => /usr/local/lib/libruby.so.1.8 (0x00236000)
	libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0x00132000)
	libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libcrypt.so.1 (0x007b8000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0x00d63000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0x00394000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x0067e000)
~/src/ruby> ./ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i686-linux]

(same after make install)

Any ideas what broke? I've never seen anything like this before, and 
I've been using p287 on several systems for months (at least). This is 
on ubuntu karmic.

Further info:

~/src/ruby> make check
not ok float 1 -- ./sample/test.rb:1172
not ok float 2 -- ./sample/test.rb:1173
not ok float 3 -- ./sample/test.rb:1174
not ok float 4 -- ./sample/test.rb:1175
not ok float 5 -- ./sample/test.rb:1176
not ok float 6 -- ./sample/test.rb:1177
not ok float 7 -- ./sample/test.rb:1178
not ok float 8 -- ./sample/test.rb:1179
not ok float 9 -- ./sample/test.rb:1180
test failed
make: *** [test] Error 1
