Thanks! I tweaked the testsuite ChangeLog entry to mention what changed
rather than why, as convention. Also, I noticed that the test has
duplicated test messages, so I made it use with_test_prefix as well.
Below's what I pushed.
(BTW, "tiny patch" is just the GNU convention for marking patches that fall
below the copyright assignment requirement. If you're going to contribute
more to gdb (which would of course be great), let me know offlist so we
can start the copyright assignment process.)

Subject: [PATCH] Fix wrong output of x87 registers due to truncation to double
on amd64
When `info float` is used on an AMD64 system, GDB prints
floating-point values of x87 registers with raw contents like
0x361a867a8e0527397ce0 or 0xc4f988454a1ddd3cfdab wrongly.
This happens due to truncation to double, after which the former
becomes 0.0, and the latter becomes negative infinity. This is caused
by failed detection of x86-64 host, which results in setting
gdb_host_{float,double,long_double}_format to zeros.
This commit fixes this misdetection, and adds a test to make sure
future commits don't introduce a regression here.

float" after loading bigval and smallval.
