I've had a brief look at this error (and a similar error on s390x) and
it looks like a float rounding issue in some of the functions in
libavc/texturedspenc.c. The output from the hap encoder is only
different by a few bits.

i386 fails because it promotes floats to long double when evaluating (at
least on Debian which has SSE disabled), and s390x fails because it
promotes floats to doubles. I think they're the only architectures which
promote floats (although some have not built yet).

I'll probably just ignore these tests for now since I'm not sure what
the best solution is.
