Silly me, main never calls the function that has this instruction, so it 
will not fail. Either we need a configure test that actually executes some 
instructions involving float or double (not just compile them), or we 
should be more forceful in adding -mno-avx for *noavx platforms instead of 
waiting for some test to fail.
