Description
No objection to the change here to unblock things, but it seems a bit unusual that this tool tests the beta std at all. Is there any way to change it to run on in-tree std with the beta and in-tree compilers?

Research direction
Locate the test-float-parse tool and inspect how it stages and selects the standard library and compilers. Determine whether it can test the in-tree standard library with both beta and in-tree compilers; done means the requested staging behavior works without relying on the beta standard library.
