I didn't really try any further with the AIX compilation after starting on the linux bladecenter. I could try a bit if it is of interest.
On the BladeCenter, only one test failed after upgrading to 2.8.4: sage -t devel/sage-main/sage/rings/real_rqdf.pyx ********************************************************************** File "real_rqdf.pyx", line 24: sage: RQDF( 123.2) * RR (.543) Expected: 66.89760000000000624851281827432114309792736749325567465385058291 Got: NaN ********************************************************************** 1 items had failures: 1 of 9 in __main__.example_0 ***Test Failed*** 1 failures.
