Agreed.
I even wonder if the best wouldn't be to make the option effectively
three state, default, no and yes, where if the option isn't specified
at all, then crtfastmath.o* is linked as is now except for -shared,
if it is -mno-daz-ftz, then it is never linked in regardless of other
options and if it is -mdaz-ftz, then it is linked even for -shared.

As the option is only used in the driver, shouldn't it be marked Driver
and not Target? It doesn't need to be saved/restored on every cfun switch
etc.
