[Vm-dev] [OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm] We need a solution for cross-platform bit-identical floating point. (#315)

[Nicolas Cellier]

mpfr is multiple precision (arbitrary precision if you prefer), and not specially optimized for IEEE 754 double precision. IMO it's too much for FloatMathPlugin.

CRLIBM (correctly rounded mathematical library) could be a good modern alternative to fdlibm.
CRLIBM is also LGPL and also from INRIA
