NetBSD and OpenBSD fails rbug.c too.

As far I know, all *BSD uses "double precision" by default, instead of
"extended precision" as Linux and Solaris. When I set my floating point
unit to use "extended precision", my NetBSD machine pass rbug.c too...

One other problem with *BSD and rbug.c is that the ___fixunsdfdi
function in libc is buggy. NetBSD has fixed that in the latest release,
but I don't know about the other *BSD.
