Hi,

on our QA test suites we also try i686/i586 and this leads in the test suite
to

  [   90s] + error=no
  [   90s] + for log in test-suite.log testsuite/*.log
  [   90s] + grep -E '^(XFAIL|FAIL|ERROR):' test-suite.log
  [   90s] FAIL: lib/test_strtod_nol
  [   90s] FAIL: strtod_nol_or_err("123") != 123.000000
  [   90s] + cat test-suite.log
  [   90s] =======================================
