+* Wed Feb 02 2022  Brad Bell <bradbell at seanet dot com> - 20220000.1-1
+- Try commenting out to_string test of long double on ppc56le arch.
+  This problem does not reproduce on ppc64le-test.fedorainfracloud.org.
+
 * Tue Feb 01 2022  Brad Bell <bradbell at seanet dot com> - 20220000.1-1
 - Modify to_string.cpp patch to print out more information on failure.
 - Add simple program to print machine epsilon before any other testing.
