    Avoid raising unexpected floating point exceptions in libm
    
    When using clang with x86_64 CPUs that support AVX, some floating point
    transformations may raise exceptions that would not have been raised by
    the original code. To avoid this, use the -fp-exception-behavior=maytrap
    flag, introduced in clang 10.0.0.
    
    In particular, this fixes a number of test failures with ctanhf(3) and
    ctanf(3), when libm is compiled with -mavx. An unexpected FE_INVALID
    exception is then raised, because clang emits vdivps instructions to
    perform certain divides. (The vdivps instruction operates on multiple
    single-precision float operands simultaneously, but the exceptions may
    be influenced by unused parts of the XMM registers. In this particular
    case, it was calculating 0 / 0, which results in FE_INVALID.)
    
    If -fp-exception-behavior=maytrap is specified however, clang uses
    vdivss instructions instead, which work on one operand, and should not
    raise unexpected exceptions.

    Only use -fp-exception-behavior=maytrap on x86, for now
    
    After 3b00222f156d, it turns out that clang only supports strict
    floating point semantics for SystemZ and x86 at the moment, while for
    other architectures it is still experimental.
    
    Therefore, only use -fp-exception-behavior=maytrap on x86 for now,
    otherwise this option results in "error: overriding currently
    unsupported use of floating point exceptions on this target
    [-Werror,-Wunsupported-floating-point-opt]" on other architectures.
