Hi,

Interesting! Since the test passed on all other architectures, could
it be that certain Python floating point exceptions are simply not
raised on architectures without an FPU? I came across an old NumPy bug
[2] that seems very related. I don't have access to a real armel
device to test this, but I'll probably have time to play in qemu in a
few days.

I guess we can just skip the test on armel? If we decide to go that
route, I can get in touch with upstream and work on getting the change
to happen there too.
