 In [changeset:"e5e07be2df1a0d6f1cb47e9d301053445020589c/ghc" e5e07be/ghc]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="ghc"
 revision="e5e07be2df1a0d6f1cb47e9d301053445020589c"
 base: Run num009 with -msse2 on i386

 x87's transcendental instructions are terribly imprecise and fail this
 test.
 Moreover, we really ouch to enable -mse2 on i386 by default as it is
 nearly
 universally supported at this point. See #13540.
