I'm talking about functions such as __adddf3 (which would need to be 
exported from libc, not libm, to provide exceptions / rounding modes 
support for software floating point).  I don't see them in any Versions 
file for LoongArch.

Furthermore, this patch isn't changing sfp-machine.h for LoongArch, which 
uses fpu_control.h to get rounding mode / exceptions state, and it isn't 
changing how fpu_control.h uses constant 0 for that state in the 
soft-float case.  So I don't see how it would produce *working* exceptions 
/ rounding modes support for software floating-point arithmetic.
