Paolo, I know that using float equality comparison is not reliable in

As a general policy, in the testsuite we should never assert equality of
floating point quantities, sooner or later that would byte us, and very
badly (just search our Bugzilla or the web if you are not convinced).
And, given that, I don't think we should waste time figuring out whether
in specific cases, for specific machines, actually it would be safe to
do it.
