The test case is attached. The expected result is that the program builds and outputs `1e-10' (as GCC does).  DMC 8.47 currently fails to link:

main.obj(main)  Offset 098F6H Record Type 00C3
Error 1: Previous Definition Different : ?Epsilon@?$FMC@N@@2NA (double
FMC<double >::Epsilon)

--- errorlevel 1
