I neglected to mention I'm using a version pulled from git yesterday, i.e.

$ od --version
od (GNU coreutils) 9.4.114-6ec1f

on a SLES 15 SP1 GNU/Linux system, x86_64 hardware, kernel version 4.12.14 .

Subject: Can't use od to print half-precision floats

If I try to use the od utility to print half-precision (FP16) floating-point values, I get:

$ od -t f2 myfloats.bin
od: invalid type string 'f2';
this system doesn't provide a 2-byte floating point type

I'm not exactly sure what "this system" means, but that should work and print out my floats.

PS - This is my first bug-coreutils post, please be gentle.
