Hm. I don’t know if I’d call that a valid Debian/m68k target ;-)
But for other reasons. Its FPU emulation seems to be better, though.

I see two possibilities here: either ARAnyM gets fixed and we require
a minimum version (which would break a whole lot of installed user‐
base and be hard to detect… but I’d guess running the test program
in an init script and warning _massively_ if it detects the current
behaviour is a possibility), or we just accept this, support any
legacy userbase, and call m68k the test case for Python’s legacy
float behaviour.

Long-term, the first one might be better… Petr, do you read?
