Yes, it might be useful to have a feature to enable IEEE traps,
on platforms that support IEEE traps. But that would be a new
Emacs feature, and a different and independent patch.

Sure, glibc and many other systems have such facilities.
But they're optional, and Emacs currently does not use them.
If Emacs enabled them, that would be the new feature mentioned above.

Cygwin is like glibc. matherr exists to support ancient
applications, but it's present only for SVID compatibility, and
it's normally disabled so Emacs doesn't use it. I just now
checked the source.
