This doesn't look right; it only failed on i386 (and
hurd/kfreebsd-i386), but it built on armel, armhf, mips, mipsel, hppa,
m68k and powerpc. This is not a 32-bit issue, but an x86 floating-point
issue, most likely because the x87 FPU uses 80-bit floats internally.
If you're going to disable the test, please do so *only* if the CPU is
i386.
