So strangely, when I first ran this test case I recall being able to
reproduce the SIGFPE; but now going back to it I'm getting the correct
"division by zero" output.

But postgresql still fails to build with the same errors as before.

FWIW, the first test suite failure involving floor() has been resolved now
in the glibc package in unstable.
