I'm not yet convinced. Now that the m4 tests work correctly on ia64*-hpux*, that platform exhibts the same failure mode for gnulib test-strtod. I'll investigate further before the weekend. The failure message seems to indicate that there was a coredump here too... perhaps that's just an artifact of the test harness? hpux11.31: ~/m4-1.4.17% make check ...
