The test has been failing for some time. This failure suggests a
problem with ldexp or frexp for long doubles. Looking at
http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2005/04/83872.php it seems that
the library has overloads for long doubles, but I expect the
implementation treats them as doubles.

But regardless, this is probably not a build issue.
