Describe the bug

On arm processors (AWS:gravition2, rhel), I get the following failure in version 0.23.1

1038     >>> from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
1039     >>> X, y = make_classification(random_state=0)
1040     >>> X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(
1041     ...     X, y, random_state=0)
1042     >>> clf = GradientBoostingClassifier(random_state=0)
1043     >>> clf.fit(X_train, y_train)
1044     GradientBoostingClassifier(random_state=0)
1045     >>> clf.predict(X_test[:2])
1046     array([1, 0])
1047     >>> clf.score(X_test, y_test)
Expected:
    0.88
Got:
    0.84

Steps/Code to Reproduce

pytest -v sklearn/ensemble/_gb.py::sklearn.ensemble._gb.GradientBoostingClassifier

Expected Results

PASSED is thrown.

Actual Results

FAILED is thrown.

1047     >>> clf.score(X_test, y_test)
Expected:
    0.88
Got:
    0.84

Thanks for the report @murata-yu , I can reproduce in https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/17996

Not yet sure if it's an indication of an actual issue of it we should just increase the tolerance.

From a user point of view, 4% of change in accuracy in the 0.8 range looks like more than a small numerical rounding discrepancy. It's worth investigating.

I can reproduce the problem locally by building scikit-learn in an arm64 miniforge environment in docker / qemu container as described in https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/17644#issuecomment-663857435.
