You should (probably already have) look at Kahan's "paranoia" test
suite. It used to be available from netlib, you should be able to find
it with archie at least. It checks for IEEE compliance, in particular,
and rounding direction and all that, but I don't know offhand if an
actual *mac* will conform :-) Additional general floating point code
and tests can be found in ftp.cygnus.com:pub/newlib, if you're willing
to dig (newlib is a bsd-style libc, non-gpl'ed, with a libm.)
