This option will always be there: just set up x87 to generate
exceptions by calling `_control87' at the beginning of `main'.

However, ANSI Standard specifically says that a program should NOT
crash when exceptional numerical values are produced.  So I think the
*default* behavior cannot be to generate SIGFPE.
