You realize that all these platforms use the same file:

float8/i.86-.*-freebsd[234]=float8-small-is-zero
float8/i.86-.*-openbsd=float8-small-is-zero
float8/i.86-.*-netbsd=float8-small-is-zero
float8/m68k-.*-netbsd=float8-small-is-zero

Are we going to have to make a NetBSD/i386-specific file to fix this?
Don't we have some of these platforms on the build farm. Are they
failing?
