No: it will break Debian/m68k which heavily uses Python, because:

- on real metal m68k, the asm function will be tested and work,
  so it will be used, including the new dtoa code
- the binaries with that will be uploaded to the archive
- now, on emulated m68k (ARAnyM), those binaries will use the
  new dtoa code instrad of the old one, but the asm instructions
  to change FPU precision will SILENTLY FAIL, which will lead
  to incorrect results

<igli> just about the worst way you could do something like that, afaic.
<igli> it's like anti-design.  <mirabilos> that too… may I quote you on that?
<igli> sure, tho i doubt anyone will listen ;)
