features appear to work, subject to the caveat that you tell gcc you
want standard rather than recklessly fast behavior
(-mieee-with-inexact -mfp-rounding-mode=d).
The non-standard feature of delivering a SIGFPE when an application
raises an unmasked exception does not work, presumably due to a kernel
bug. This isn't so bad given that floating-point exceptions on the
Alpha architecture are not precise, so making them useful in userland
requires a significant amount of wizardry.
