[Bug ada/38325] New: Long_Long_Float'Image returns a wrong value in some cases

[bechir dot zalila at gmail dot com]

The test case below shows a bug in the Long_Long_Float'Image function on
FreeBSD 7:

File test_float.adb;
============

with Ada.Text_IO;              use Ada.Text_IO;

procedure Test_Float is
   L  : Long_Long_Float := 1.000;
   LL : Long_Long_Float := 10.000;
begin
   Put_Line (Long_Long_Float'Image (L/LL));
end Test_Float;

Expected execution result:
=================

10:25 ~/dev% ./test_float 
 1.00000000000000000E-01

Actual behavior with GNAT-GCC 4.3.2:
========================

10:26 ~/dev% ./test_float           
 1.00000000000000006E-01

(Note the trailing "6" after the zero's)

GNAT version:
=========

10:20 ~/dev% gnatls -v

0.1 is not exactly representable in a binary float format.

Sure, but in former versions of GNAT-GCC (4.2.X), the expected value
(1.00000000000000000E-01) was displayed.
