gfortran45 IEEE exceptions are in the manual, but not supported?

I'm surprised this doesn't work on ia64 and sparc64 FreeBSD, because I read the page at [1] to indicate that FreeBSD has a function fpsetmask(), which comes from header ieeefp.h, which is exactly what the configure script should be looking for.

Anton, could you post the file config.log in your libgfortran build directory, if you still have it? I wonder what's going wrong with the configure script.
