--- Comment #4 from Guillaume Emont <guijemont at igalia.com> ---
After further checking, it seems like the issue that I encountered with that test only happens when using uclibc. In that case, Math.pow(2,42.5) returns 6219777023950.949. Though that number looks like it has more precision, it turns out[1] that it seems that it is not rounded properly, but rather truncated (the correct rounding to 3 digits would be 
6219777023950.950), so it seems like it is a uclibc issue.
Sorry for the noise.
