I think some distributions have a local glibc patch related to 
__fpscr_values, so a newly built glibc may be ABI-incompatible with 
binaries built against such a patched glibc.  (The use of __fpscr_values 
is fundamentally flawed, but that was supposed to be fixed for GCC 5 - see 
<https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53513> and its duplicate 
<https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60138>.)
