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

[Stephen L Moshier]

The actual problem reported is that the IBM accurate math routines
fail on the mips target, not that it also fails on x86.  As I understand
it, there are two different sets of failure symptoms depending on
which particular mips arithmetic library is used for testing.  If that
is so, then I believe it is not worthwhile trying to debug these
problems because the IBM code is hopelessly unportable.  The code is
like assembly language for a specific brand of computer, in this case
a computer named "ieee."  It will not work on anything else.  Instead,
if you are supposed to support mips computers, I would suggest you
give mips some other programs that are known to work on a mips, and be
done with the problem.
