Re: Is sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/e_remainder.c broken?

The "fix" is simple: don't use the code on x86.  The code was written
using accurate rounding based on the precision and not the extra-long
internal format.  Uglifying and slowing down of generally used code
for a platform which isn't even using the code is not acceptable.
