It is specified + through the 'PC' bits in the FPU control word ('fctrl' register). (See + the GNU libc i386 <fpu_control.h> header for details.) + + On some platforms, such as Linux or Solaris, the default precision setting + is set to "extended precision". This means that 'long double' instructions + operate correctly, but 'double' computations often produce slightly + different results as on strictly IEEE 754 conforming systems. + + On some platforms, such as NetBSD, the default precision is set to + "double precision". This means that 'long double' instructions will operate + only as 'double', i.e. lead wrong results. + + The FPU control word is under control of the application, i.e. it is + not required to be set either way by the ABI. (In fact, the i386 ABI + http://refspecs.freestandards.org/elf/abi386-4.pdf page 3-12 = page 38 + is not clear about it.
