It seems like this compiler is enabling floating point exceptions or 
they were explicitly enabled in the tests.  It is somewhat rare for 
floating point exceptions to be enabled except for the case of 
divide-by-zero.

The relevant manual page related to enabling floating point exceptions 
appears to be 'fenv(3)'.
