See freebsd-toolchain@

#include <fenv.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int
main(void)
{
   int i;
//   float x = 1.f;
   double x = 1.;
   i = 0;
   feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);
   do {
      x *= 2;
      i++;
   } while(!fetestexcept(FE_OVERFLOW));
   if (fetestexcept(FE_OVERFLOW)) printf("FE_UNDERFLOW: ");
   printf("x = %e after %d iterations\n", x, i);

   return 0;
}
