fenv.h that are currently inlined.
The definitions are provided in fenv.c via 'extern inline'
declaractions. This assumes the compiler handles 'extern inline' as
specified in C99, which has been true under FreeBSD since 8.0.
The goal is to eventually remove the 'static' keyword from the inline
definitions in fenv.h, so that non-inlined references all wind up
pointing to the same external definition like they're supposed to.
I am deferring the second step to provide a window where
newly-compiled apps will still link against old math libraries.
(This isn't supported, but there's no need to cause undue breakage.)

fedisableexcept(), and fegetexcept(). These two sets of routines
provide the same functionality. I implemented the former as an
undocumented internal interface to make the regression test easier to
write. However, fe(enable|disable|get)except() is already part of
glibc, and I would like to avoid gratuitous differences. The only
major flaw in the glibc API is that there's no good way to report
errors on processors that don't support all the unmasked exceptions.
Symptoms of the problem included assembler warnings and
nondeterministic runtime behavior when a fe*() call that affects the
fpsr is closely followed by a float point op.
The bug (at least, I think it's a bug) is that gcc does not insert a
break between a volatile asm and a dependent instruction if the
volatile asm came from an inlined function. Volatile asms seem to be
fine in other circumstances, even without -mvolatile-asm-stop, so
perhaps the compiler adds the stop bits before inlining takes place.
The problem does not occur at -O0 because inlining is disabled, and it
doesn't happen at -O2 because -fschedule-insns2 knows better.
registers as volatile. Instructions that *wrote* to FP state were
already marked volatile, but apparently gcc has license to move
non-volatile asms past volatile asms. This broke amd64's feupdateenv
at -O2 due to a WAR conflict between fnstsw and fldenv there.
