This should fix the bug https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12906
To print the FP constant AsmWriter does the following:
1) convert FP value to String (actually using snprintf function which is locale dependent).
2) Convert String back to FP Value
3) Compare original and got FP values. If they are not equal just dump as hex.
The problem happens on the 2nd step when APFloat does not expect group delimiter or
fraction delimiter other than period symbol and so on, which can be produced on the
first step if LLVM library is used in an environment with corresponding locale set.
To fix this issue the locale independent APFloat:toString function is used.
However it prints FP values slightly differently than snprintf does. Specifically
it suppress trailing zeros in significant, use capital E and so on.
It results in 117 test failures during make check.
To avoid this I've also updated APFloat.toString a bit to pass make check at least.

Design Of lib/System
====================
The software in this directory is designed to completely shield LLVM from any
and all operating system specific functionality. It is not intended to be a
complete operating system wrapper (such as ACE), but only to provide the
functionality necessary to support LLVM.
The software located here, of necessity, has very specific and stringent design
rules. Violation of these rules means that cracks in the shield could form and
the primary goal of the library is defeated. By consistently using this library,
LLVM becomes more easily ported to new platforms since the only thing requiring
porting is this library.
Complete documentation for the library can be found in the file:
llvm/docs/SystemLibrary.html
or at this URL:
http://llvm.org/docs/SystemLibrary.html
While we recommend that you read the more detailed documentation, for the
impatient, here's a high level summary of the library's requirements.
1. No system header files are to be exposed through the interface.
2. Std C++ and Std C header files are okay to be exposed through the interface.
3. No exposed system-specific functions.
4. No exposed system-specific data.
5. Data in lib/System classes must use only simple C++ intrinsic types.
6. Errors are handled by returning "true" and setting an optional std::string
7. Library must not throw any exceptions, period.
8. Interface functions must not have throw() specifications.
9. No duplicate function impementations are permitted within an operating
system class.
To accomplish these requirements, the library has numerous design criteria that
must be satisfied. Here's a high level summary of the library's design criteria:
1. No unused functionality (only what LLVM needs)
2. High-Level Interfaces
3. Use Opaque Classes
4. Common Implementations
5. Multiple Implementations
6. Minimize Memory Allocation
7. No Virtual Methods
