Oh, I wasn't aware of this, sorry.

I don't have a real 586, but I have an real AMD Geode LX800, which is an
x86 CPU which also lacks SSE, and I managed to reproduce the issue
there. Full log attached.
This is a wheezy system, but with the openblas packages + dependencies
from jessie. The hardware is a PC Engines ALIX 2D.13 system board. I ran
the tests just as the autopkgtest would have done from #781996, but I
executed all the steps manually.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do.

Christian
