Hello,

Thanks for the email. 

As you say, that may be a problem with the compiler on Mac OS.  

One suggestion: you could try editing the file config.h and commenting
out the line "#define HAVE_PRINTF_LONGDOUBLE 1" then do make clean &&
make && make check, in case it only affects the use of long double.
If that works, please let us know.
