Final patch. Skip, could you please give this one a try, and then with any luck this can be fixed for 3.0.1. (Sorry for creating more work; this should be the last time.) I've added a configure test that detects x87 FPU usage, via the double rounding issue associated with the x87. If x87 is detected then _Py_force_double is used via a macro Py_FORCE_DOUBLE; otherwise, Py_FORCE_DOUBLE does nothing. When you configure on a machine that uses x87, you should see: checking for x87-style double rounding... yes in the configure output.
