... and, in fact, a bit of investigation says that that compiler has
-msse2 on by default. So actually we have *no* buildfarm coverage
of x87 math.

I tried forcing the issue with -mfpmath=387, but failed to reproduce
the reported failure. Still, seeing that it's a considerably different
version of gcc, that's not so surprising.
