Its even EZ to test with gcc. 'gonzo' is a Powerbook (10.4.2) .
'gentoo' is a P3 box (linux):
gonzo:~ jim$ cat tt.c
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int
main(int argc, char** argv)
{
double d = M_PI;
printf("sin(PI) is %.16le\n", sin(d));
d = M_PI_4;
printf("sin(PI/4) is %.16le\n", sin(d));
}
gonzo:~ jim$ gcc tt.c
gonzo:~ jim$ ./a.out
sin(PI) is 1.2246467991473532e-16
sin(PI/4) is 7.0710678118654757e-01
gonzo:~ jim$ scp tt.c gentoo.netgate.com:
tt.c 100% 196 0.2KB/s
00:00
gonzo:~ jim$ ssh gentoo.netgate.com
