I think this is not correct, as lrint will get extra exceptions
compared to using
conversion and rint (the invalid exception in case the result doesn't
fit the integer type).
It looks like now we are only trying to not remove traps and do not
care about introducing
more, which is wrong as you noted.  I fear the only valid solution is
to make both
transformations conditional under flag_no_trapping_math.

Or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Richard.
