Apparently your machine now matches the "standard" float8.out.

Do you know how to tell the difference between what you have and
the freebsd releases that produce the small-is-zero results?

If we don't know how to distinguish them, the only fallback I can
see is to treat the small-is-zero case as a locale variant, which
would mean we'd accept it as legitimate behavior on any platform.
I'd rather not do that...
