I believe coercion is universally applicable and should pass on every
machine.  I am not sure about the other two.

Unless you get a more complete answer than mine, saying no, I would suggest
so, including details of hardware, compiler switches, and failure messages.
But first make sure you compiled with optimizations turned off.  It might
be helpful to either you or the developers if you also tried 2.4a1.
