That one was put in largely for the benefit of Fortran, where it's set
by default. In particular, when you turn off math-errno,
single-instruction intrinsics such as sqrt() can be employed without
checking for exceptions and re-trying with a library function which sets
ERRNO. Still seems unlikely to be relevant to Mozilla.
