------- Comment #18 from kreckel at ginac dot de  2006-11-19 11:22 -------
An idea: Would it help if feholdexcept, fetestexcept and all those standard
functions accessing the status and control flags were implemented as builtins,
not as extern libcalls?

This probably wouldn't help against elimination of unused statements that
nevertheless trigger side effects. But it would inhibit the worst cases of code
reordering, I suppose.
