Changes (by rhaas):

  * status:  review => closed
  * resolution:  => wontfix


Comment:

 The failure is due to the test requiring a specific set of compiler
 options which are not normally provided. The workaround is specific to a
 particular compiler and would insert compiler dependent options into the
 thorn's Makefile.

 A cleaner solution may be to offer "PRECISE" compiler flags through the
 Cactus build system for those parts of the code that are dependent on
 standards conforming math. This is low priority since it is only of
 interest to a relatively small set of thorns.
