How do you feel about resultmap entries

float8/i.86-.*-freebsd3=float8-fp-exception
float8/i.86-.*-freebsd4=float8-small-is-zero

to replace the existing

float8/i.86-.*-freebsd=float8-small-is-zero

Are there (now or in the foreseeable future) freebsd major versions > 4?
We could do

float8/i.86-.*-freebsd[4-9]=float8-small-is-zero

which might or might not be more future-proof.

<blink>  ain't none of the float8 bsd resultmap entries will match alpha...
so you must be matching the default version?
