          Issue ID: 13032
           Summary: std.internal.math.gammfunction assumes 80-bit real
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P1
         Component: Phobos

std.internal.math.gammfunction assumes that reals are in x86 Extended Precision
Format. This is only true for x86 and gammafunction is actually the only module
with failing tests on ARM.

A simple way to test for systems where real==double is to use the -mlong-double
flag with gdc:
