That's interesting, you saw also we're getting failures on the tests
for powell optimization because of small unit-at-last-place
differences in the exp function in mingw-w64.  Is there any chance you
can track down where the optimization path is diverging and why?
It's just that - if this is also the exp function maybe we can see if
the error is exceeding reasonable bounds and then feed back to
mingw-w64 and fall back to the numpy default implementation in the
meantime.

Cheers,

Matthew
