Can anyone confirm this?
If yes, bug in clang, dmd or phobos?
Note that the dmd testsuite passes for me.
Clang behaves differently, but it's probably not a bug.

double a = foo; // seems like "FSTP m64fp" doesn't preserve the sign bit
We need to fix the code in PortInitializer::PortInitializer() which
relies on
sign preserving of NaN size conversions.
I thought Clang would be compatible with GCC.
I think it's undefined behavior to rely on the exact representation of NaN.
From what I've seen whether "a" ends up with a sign or not depends on
processor
internal state and is not specified by Intel, clang emits different code
thus the difference.
