The *printf-posix tests depend on the 'nan' and 'snan' modules. The unit
tests of these modules, in turn, depend on several fenv-* and fpe-tracking
modules, which are CPU dependent. I don't think it's wise to include these
tests in tarballs of arbitrary packages like coreutils or gettext:
Tarballs may be in use 5 or 10 years from now, and when they contain
these tests, they may well fail on CPUs that do not exist yet.
Therefore, here it a patch that cuts the module dependency chain at the
'nan' and 'snan' tests.

nan, snan tests: Don't include these tests by default.
* modules/nan-tests (Status): Mark the test as unportable.
* modules/snan-tests (Status): Likewise.
