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. Regards, James
