[Python-Dev] test_coercion failing

[Jack Jansen]

Well, it turns out that disabling fused-add-mul indeed fixes the
problem. The CodeWarrior manual warns that results may be slightly
different with and without fused instructions, but the example they
give is with operations apparently done in higher precision with the
fused instructions. No word about nonstandard behaviour for +0.0 and
-0.0.

As this seems to be a PowerPC issue, not a MacOS issue, it is
something that other PowerPC porters may want to look out for too
(does AIX still exist?).
