-# Avoid some troublesome gcvt() functions. With some libc versions,
-# perl -e '$x=1e5; print "$x\n";' prints 1e+5. We'd like it
-# to print 100000 instead, consistent with the integer value given
-# on other platforms. This isn't a bug in gcvt, really; more in our
-# expectations for it. We'd like it to behave exactly as
-# sprintf %.16g, but it isn't documented to do that.
-#
-# We'll use sprintf() instead, since we can control the output more
-# precisely.
-#
-# The next version of Configure will check for this automatically.
