[ID 20000321.081] Not OK: perl v5.6.0 +v5.6.0-RC3 on armv4l-linux2.2.14-rmk2 (UNINSTALLED)

This is a build failure report for perl from nick@talking.bollo.cx,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.28 running under perl v5.6.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

(Apart from failing to dynamic link anything because of an argument between my
new ld and my old glibc about what ABI version an ELF file has, causing 
dlopen() to fail and me skipping all the test results) I'm failing on
lib/complex.t and lib/trig.t

[nick@Bagpuss t]$ ./perl lib/trig.t

lib/complex.t gives about 2000 lines of output, so I probably shouldn't paste
the whole lot here. First batch of not OKs there are

# 81 $z0 ** $z1 8.9999999997089 9 (3,0) (2,0)

ok 86

Would I be correct in guessing that the floating point emulation on the
(integer only) StrongARM isn't perfect?
