We have since some time t/mative_pbc/number.t, albeit not very populated
[1] and rarely tested[2]. Since the last fix I put in in that area, I'm
not aware of any problem with PBC and floats on different platforms - so
I removed that entry.

[1] we need definitely more platforms in this test(s)

[2] currently each simple change in ops files or a new parrot version
gives a different fingerprint and thus breaks these tests. I hope that
with a) stabilizing ops files (and PMC enums) and b) having some Version
PMC with a better algorithm to check what is compatible and can be run,
these tests haven't to be turned off every now and then.
