There are probably lots of Linux testers around but here's what I
get:

    Python 2.1b2 (#2, Mar 20 2001, 23:52:29) 
    [GCC 2.95.3 20010219 (prerelease)] on linux2
    Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> x = 0.0
    >>> print "%.17g" % -x
    -0
    >>> print "%+.17g" % -x
    -0

libc is GNU 2.2.2  (if that matters).  test_coerion works for me
too.  Is test_coerce testing too much accidental implementation
behavior?
