Hi,

I think the comment about Sun meant FDLIBM, the Freely Distributable
LIBM library.  This is available at http://www.netlib.org/fdlibm/.
NETLIB also has at least one test suite, UCBTEST, at
http://www.netlib.org/fp/ucbtest.tgz.  I don't have any personal
experience with either suite, unfortunately.
