Yes, 32-bit x86 remains a supported target with the GNU C library, down
to i486 I believe, that includes dedicated platform code such as for the
80-bit extended format, so this was a good portability exercise, given
that the scope of the tests were floating-point formatted input/output
specifiers, not previously sufficiently covered.
