the function bodies require only 2 to 10 instructions. However, it
leads to application binaries that refer to a private ABI, namely, the
softfloat innards in libc. This could complicate future changes in
the implementation of the floating-point emulation layer, so it seems
best to have programs refer to the official fe* entry points in libm.
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.)
