I apologize, I missed the real error. (But yes, I am aware of this, and 
also that I should expect precision differences with different libraries 
and different architectures.) I thought for a moment that make was 
throwing an error because of the differences, but in fact it was later:

Testing examples for package ?grid?
   comparing ?grid-Ex.Rout? to ?grid-Ex.Rout.save? ... OK
Testing examples for package ?splines?

The problem seems to be here:

It also seems that this error is transient. If I rerun several times, it 
does not always happen. Is anyone aware of other cases of transient 
problems with 32-bit goto2?
