Description

Not sure where to report this but acosh-approx.js added with this batch breaks when the implementation just defer's to macOS Sonoma's libc++ (via std::acosh). Newer macOS Sequoia seems to pass though.

Research direction

Start by reading and running acosh-approx.js, then compare the reported behavior when the implementation delegates to macOS Sonoma's libc++ std::acosh with the behavior on macOS Sequoia. Done means determining whether the test is valid for ECMAScript conformance and recording or correcting the test accordingly.
