The remaining failure (printing 0.83205029433784) should be a bug in
lrint (it is on ia64 at least) and I fixed it in patch-688.  If it is,
this program

#define _GNU_SOURCE 1
#include 
double d = 14988885582133630.0; 
int main()
{
 printf ("%.18g\n", d);
 long int l = lrint (d);
 printf ("%ld\n", l);
 printf ("%ld\n", (long int) d);
}

should /not/ print three times the same number.  If it prints the same
number, patch-688 will not fix Alpha.
