I guess that's a different issue, due to the problem that Gnulib defines LDBL_MAX to be a value greater than what one can compute from source code. I guess a fix on that platform would be to shrink LDBL_MAX by a factor of 2, and similarly for LDBL_NORM_MAX. That is, go back to the GCC way of doing things.
