If you check git head, you'll see all the tests are fixed up
to test/daemon/ublox-zed-f9p-hp.log.

Hal is confirming.

That log is your HPPOSLLH issue.  I have a working fix for that too, but
not tonight.

Sort of like whack-a-mole.  If only we could just reset FLT_EVAL_METHOD
to 0 and be done with it!

It will be interesting to compare fixes.

I looked into forcing (long double), like FLT_EVAL_METHOD=2, but
then found that C does not define what a (long double) is, so that
jsut amkes things worse...
