[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48364] __run-test_suite_ FAIL for axis.m (tolerance)

[Avinoam Kalma]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #48364 (project octave):

In the discussion of bug#49470 I commented that in 64 bit version, 


1.e-10-10^(-10) =  -1.0340e-025


Note also that


1.e-2 - 10^ (-2) = -1.7347e-018


while in 32 bit both are zero.

There is a comment of Dmitri A. Sergatskov in that discussion: 
"The difference could be due to sse (default on 64-bit) 
vs fp87 (on 32-bit) floating point path" 

I also noticed with __octave_config_info that MXE octave is compiled in 32 bit
version with
FFLAGS = -g -O2 -mieee-fp
while in 64 bit, with
FFLAGS = -g -O2

is this related to this bug?
