Re: 2.0.104 on sparc

BTW, many of the floating point checks fail on Alpha as well.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to have `make check' ignore the
results of these tests on platforms where failures are expected.
Otherwise the value of "make check" is reduced for most users; it
would be good if people could use it routinely to test a library
before installation.
I think this is a bad idea. I know that the Sparc math tests do not
all pass, and a while back things were worse and I fixed the majority
of the failures at that time. I plan on revisiting this soon, these
are real bugs and should be fixed.
Once I deal with the math failures I will take a look at the tst-aio
failure as well.
