No, I need something that will work in the regression test resultmap,
which basically only knows about the platform identifier string
computed by config.guess.
We could change
float8/i.86-.*-freebsd=float8-small-is-zero
to
float8/i.86-.*-freebsd4=float8-small-is-zero
which would result in the right behavior on freebsd 4.*, and would
expect 5.* to have standard float behavior.
That would mean that on 5.* you would get diffs if you didn't have the
new float handling. What is the status of the 5.* branch --- are there
stable releases out there that don't have the new float code? If not,
this seems like an acceptable answer.
regards, tom lane
