[parisc-linux] HPPA FPU Specification? (FE_INEXACT raised by accident)

jda,

I've noticed that I cannot generate an underflow or overflow exception
without also forcing an inexact exception on my PA 2.0 system. Are you
familiar with this behaviour at all? I'm trying to straighten our fenv
setup, and this is really the last crinkle.

Raising an overflow is done with "DBL_MAX + DBL_MAX", while the
underflow is "DBL_MIN/3.0". Both raise FE_INEXACT aswell.

Cheers,
Carlos.
