This issue was reported to gnupg-users.

I pushed a fix (to libgpg-error master) before my vacation:

	9cc750a816554e46d3e1496533f927b17ef3fcef

Today, I tested on perotto.debian.net and confirmed that:

	t-printf: IBM double-double - skipping LDBL_MAX test

The test is skipped correctly.

Thus, please wait for the next release of 1.62, or apply the commit
locally.
