+/* The i386 floating point hardware (the 387 compatible FPU, not the modern
+ SSE/SSE2 hardware) has a controllable rounding precision. It is specified
+ through the 'PC' bits in the FPU control word ('fctrl' register). (See
+ the GNU libc i386 <fpu_control.h> header for details.)
+
+ On some platforms, such as Linux or Solaris, the default precision setting
+ is set to "extended precision". This means that 'long double' instructions
+ operate correctly, but 'double' computations often produce slightly
+ different results as on strictly IEEE 754 conforming systems.
+
+ On some platforms, such as NetBSD, the default precision is set to
+ "double precision". This means that 'long double' instructions will operate
+ only as 'double', i.e. lead to wrong results. Similarly on FreeBSD 6.4, at
+ least for the division of 'long double' numbers.
+
+ The FPU control word is under control of the application, i.e. it is
+ not required to be set either way by the ABI. (In fact, the i386 ABI
+ https://www.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/doc/ABI/abi386-4.pdf page 3-12 = page 38
+ is not clear about it. But in any case, gcc treats the control word
+ like a "preserved" register: it emits code that assumes that the control
+ word is preserved across calls, and it restores the control word at the
+ end of functions that modify it.)
+
+ See Vincent Lefèvre's page https://www.vinc17.net/research/extended.en.html
+ for a good explanation.
+ See https://web.archive.org/web/20060905133417/http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0103.0/0453.html
+ some argumentation which setting should be the default. */
