[issue9069] test_float failure on Solaris

Just to clarify something, in case you notice something does not look quite right. 

The link I provided to the build failure on the SPARC machine

http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9297

was a Sun Blade 1000. It is *not* the same machine from which I just copied  the output, which was a Sun Blade 2000. The two machines are pretty similar though - the motherboards, processors, disks, RAM are interchangeable. In fact,'uname' shows Sun-Blade-1000 in both of them. I think the only real difference between them is that the Blade 2000 looks a bit nicer, and is officially supported with faster CPUs. 

The link I provided to the failure on the Xeon machine

http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9299

is the same machine where I just posted the output. 

If you need an account on a SPARC, it will be a more modern Sun T5240 with 32 GB RAM. 

Dave
