... it really was the compiler. Sorry for bothering you.

What will remain is the differences in the results of the geometry
test. This is due to the fact that glibc-2.2.3 uses a different (and
more precise, as I've been told) implementation for the trigonometric
functions.

Is there a way to reflect that fact in /src/test/regress/resultmap so
that the results of both glibc<2.2.3 and glibc>=2.2.3 get compared
with thir respective expected results?
