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.)

Details: As a side-effect of restoring a saved FP environment,
fesetenv() overwrites the tag word, which indicates which i387
registers are in use. Normally this isn't a problem because
the calling convention requires the register stack to be empty
on function entry and exit. However, fesetenv() is inlined, so we
need to tell gcc explicitly that the i387 registers get clobbered.

floating-point arithmetic on i386. Now I'm going to make excuses
for why this code is kinda scary:
- To avoid breaking the ABI with 5.3-RELEASE, we can't change
sizeof(fenv_t). I stuck the saved mxcsr in some discontiguous
reserved bits in the existing structure.
- Attempting to access the mxcsr on older processors results
in an illegal instruction exception, so support for SSE must
be detected at runtime. (The extra baggage is optimized away
if either the application or libm is compiled with -msse{,2}.)
I didn't run tests to ensure that this doesn't SIGILL on older 486's
lacking the cpuid instruction or on other processors lacking SSE.
Results from running the fenv regression test on these processors
would be appreciated. (You'll need to compile the test with
-DNO_STRICT_DFL_ENV.) If you have an 80386, or if your processor
supports SSE but the kernel didn't enable it, then you're probably out
of luck.
Also, I un-inlined some of the functions that grew larger as a result
of this change, moving them from fenv.h to fenv.c.
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.
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.
