There is one more solution: let the kernel report what CW value it will use. Maybe in the ELF auxiliary vector. Add AT_LINUX_FPUCW and pass the value up. Then the libc can decide whether it is necessary to perform the operation or not. And we have no dependencies except that you need to upgrade your system to take advatnage of the improvements but this is the same for most enhancements.
Ok, I really like this solution, perhaps it's the one which we should use to solve this problem.
