According to ISO C23 (7.6.4.4), fesetexcept is supposed to set
floating-point exception flags without raising a trap (unlike
feraiseexcept, which is supposed to raise a trap if feenableexcept
was called with the appropriate argument).
The flags can be set in the 387 unit or in the SSE unit. To set
a flag, it is sufficient to do it in the SSE unit, because that is
guaranteed to not trap. However, on i386 CPUs that have only a
387 unit, set the flags in the 387, as long as this cannot trap.
Checked on i686-linux-gnu.
