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

Okay---I've added -mieee to BASECFLAGS in r62499, when uname -m reports 
alpha* and when gcc is the compiler;  I've also added a configure message 
that simply reports the output of uname -m, to aid debugging in case 
anything funny happens.

With luck, this should fix the problems reported by Bob Ippolito, as well 
as the current test_math and test_cmath failures.

Bob, if you're still listening, are you in a position to check whether 
this change fixes the failures you reported?
