[issue1496032] test_float segfaults with SIGFPE on FreeBSD 6.0 / Alpha

There are some current math and cmath test failures on the Debian alpha 
buildbots (2.6 and 3.0), and I think there's a good possibility that 
adding -mieee to BASECFLAGS would fix these.

I'm struggling to find the right way to do this in configure.in.
I've found the GCC specific section for BASECFLAGS (around line 800), but 
I don't know how to write a test for an alpha CPU (rather than a test for 
a specific operating system).  Any hints or pointers?
