Hmm, then I do not understand the reason for the patch - people using
the intrinsics cannot expect IEEE semantics then.
So you are concerned that people don't get the 1:1 machine instruction
but eventually the IEEE conforming MIN/MAX_EXPR?
But that can then still happen with -ffast-math so I wonder what's the point.
