I'm no subject matter expert, but I believe the issue has something to do with the testsuite assuming all architectures internally represent NaNs the same way, but that PA RISC and (some variants of?) MIPS have a different encoding. See <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NaN#Encoding>. I'm heading out of town (and away from email) for a few days, but wanted to make sure to send a quick reply to this in the meantime. Thanks, -- Plasma
