'point' test suite failure on arm - Mailing list pgsql-ports

Hi PostgreSQL porters!

I recently noticed that the PostgreSQL test suite fails on arm in the
'point' test (diff pasted below). However, the difference is really
small and is well within the rounding error range. It just seems that
the expected output has one digit less than the actual result.

Is this a mere bug in the test suite? Any idea why it just occurs on
the arm platform? It works fine on all other 11 platforms of Debian.

Please see [1] for the full build log which includes the test suite
output. This is the log for 8.1.1, but the same occurs with 7.4 and
8.0.

Thanks in advance for any hint,

Martin
