[issue9069] test_float failure on Solaris

[Mark Dickinson]

New submission from Mark Dickinson <dickinsm at gmail.com>:

Comment from David Kirkby in issue 8265;  moved here because it looks like a separate problem.

I'm seeing this failure on both Solaris 10 (SPARC processor) in 32-bit mode and OpenSolaris 06/2009 (Intel Xeon) in 64-bit mode using Python 2.6.4. So it is not just an ARM Linux issue. 

See

Note, Solaris supports both a 32 and 64-bit ABI. Not  sure if that is relevant, but I see "ABI" in the title, so perhaps it might be.
