This patch is exactly along the same lines as a previous one to check
for SSE/SSE2 support in the assembler:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2010-05/msg01276.html
Why would one accept the former and reject the corresponding runtime
tests of the latter? And where do you see actual complexity? The beef
of the patch is concentrated in two files (sol2-check.h and fpu-387.h)
and a single function call (sol2_check). Agreed, the patch is large,
but mostly mechanical.
