The file Test/test_float.py has a decorator for tests that must be skipped on non-IEEE machines. However just eyeballing it it seems there are a few tests that test behaviour around Inf and NaN that are lacking this decorator.
Alternately it's possible this is actually a core interpreter bug where even code which is never called is now triggering floating point exceptions due to some constant propagation optimization or something like that.
To reproduce, try to install on a non-IEE machine such as a VAX and your install will crash with:

I do happen to have been compiling with -O0 -g so I have a core file and a binary with symbols (if you have a VAX gdb...) but here's the backtrace:
