This is an improvement over previous snapshots, which would silently
generate incorrect code from mathinline.h.

The offending function is:

extern inline double ldexp (double x, int y)
{
  register long double v;
  asm volatile ("fscale" : "=t" (v) : "0" (x), "u" ((long double) y));
  return v;
}

I bet it won't have any trouble compiling this snippet by itself, but will
puke when it's inlined.  (Take out "extern inline" to try compiling it by
itself.)

libc people: Anyone know why there are volatile qualifiers on the
mathinline.h asms?
