Probably not; the geometry test is prone to platform-specific
differences in low-order digits.  For more info about regression
test interpretation see
http://www.ca.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.2/postgres/regress-evaluation.html

Still, we do try to provide exact comparison files for most popular
platforms.  It'd be interesting to know your exact platform,
compiler, PG version, and the specific regression-test diffs.
