[issue15477] test_cmath failures on OS X 10.8

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis added the comment:

Without looking into the details of the issue: conditionalizing a work-around on OSX sounds right. On the one hand, it may penalize OSX releases which get it right. OTOH, it's all Apple's fault (IIUC), so they deserve it :-) 

Further, using a build-time check for the OS release is inappropriate, since the binary should work on other releases as well; a run-time check is probably more costly than the work-around.
