[issue5792] Enable short float repr() on Solaris/x86

[Mark Dickinson]

New submission from Mark Dickinson <dickinsm at gmail.com>:

The short float repr() that's in 3.1 (probably) doesn't work on 
Solaris/x86 when using Sun's compiler to build.  It would be nice to
fix this.

It probably works on Solaris/x86/gcc, though confirmation of that would be 
appreciated.

Marking as easy, because this should be an easy task for someone who has 
access to the appropriate setup.  I can probably do all the 
autoconf/define stuff required, but I need help from someone who has 
access to Solaris/x86 and who can be available to do testing.
