On startup, PHP deliberately changes the floating point control word to enforce binary64 format for the calculations for best consistency across platforms. However, this is unnessary for x86_64 architectures, because in this case SSE instructions are used by default, and there is no good reason to pass `-mfpmath=i387` or such. Therefore, we can skip the modification, which has the benefit that system libraries are free to work in the mode of their liking.

This is supposed to supersede PR #5602. I've targeted master to have the i386 tests running.
