+Subject: [PATCH] Relax tolerance in test_polynomial_poorly_conditioned on ppc64le
+
+The test_polynomial_poorly_conditioned[fixed2-False] test asserts that
+fitted polynomial parameters match the original within atol=1e-14.
+On ppc64le (POWER8+), the linear algebra solver (numpy.linalg.lstsq)
+produces results with sub-display-precision floating-point differences
+that exceed the 1e-14 tolerance. This is caused by fused multiply-add
+(FMA) instructions on POWER which evaluate intermediate expressions at
+higher precision before rounding, changing the final rounding outcome
+compared to x86_64 and aarch64.
+
+Relax the tolerance from 1e-14 to 1e-12 which still verifies 12 digits
+of precision — more than sufficient for a polynomial fitting test.
