Yes, I have already taken this into account. Thanks for all the help
with spec interpretation. I appreciate the feedback. We pass all the
fenv tests in glibc, but still fail the long double support. I'm about
50% done porting dbl-64 to ldbl-64, might get done in the next few 
weeks. It would finally give us a functioning long double :)
