We have since some time t/mative_pbc/number.t, albeit not very populated [1] and rarely tested[2]. Since the last fix I put in in that area, I'm not aware of any problem with PBC and floats on different platforms - so I removed that entry.
[1] we need definitely more platforms in this test(s)
[2] currently each simple change in ops files or a new parrot version gives a different fingerprint and thus breaks these tests. I hope that with a) stabilizing ops files (and PMC enums) and b) having some Version PMC with a better algorithm to check what is compatible and can be run, these tests haven't to be turned off every now and then.
Ok, very good.
Since I've been out of the loop for about a year I will probably be asking a lot more dumb questions in the near future until I get a handle on the state of things.
