Right.  It just means that the override is broken for the TARGET_64BIT
case.  amd64 seems to need the code for the same reasons as i386 (the
npx control word is set to round to 53-bit precision).  The override
informs gcc of this, but it apparently causes problems for the 64-bit
case.  This seems to be the only improvement in this area.  i386.md
still bogusly says that the i387 has non-widening FP operations
(SF + SF -> SF, etc.), so casts and assignments don't narrow widened
FP results on i386's.
