I think the issue is PR 48602 - wrong I/O output due to wrong rounding
and algorithm bugs. The PR has been mostly fixed, but the excess
precision of the x87 processor still causes failures. One solution
might be to compile the whole libgfortran/io/ with
-fexcess-precision=standard. Adding a single
"asm volatile ("" : "+m" (temp))" proved to be insufficient.

PS: Especially as you are listed as testsuite maintainer, I would be
happy if you could comment on the testsuite patch at

My goal is to completely not use any floating point operations for that section 
of code.  We have a concept on how to do it.  I am still working out tweaks to 
48787, then I will turn my attention to this. Feel free to quiet that test case 
any way you wish in the meantime.

ok, I've commited my original patch as a workaround.

Thanks.

Ok.
