I would still prefer to have this in an internal header file 
"newlib/libm/machine/arm/_fenv.h" which is included via #include "_fenv.h".

If you really want to have it visible via <fenv.h>, then the vm*() should at 
least be renamed to _vmrs_fpscr() and _vmsr_fpscr().

I am not able to get you point could you provide a little detail
I understood that you are saying that create an alternative _fenv.h in 
machine/arm in libm.
But I am not able to understand why.
If the symbols are visible with fenv.h than does that cause any issues?

Yes, this is a header file which is included in the C and POSIX standards. It should only provide the things covered in the standards. The general convention is to reserve all names starting with an underscore for the C library implementation and operating system use. For example:

https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Reserved-Names.html

Or how does renaming them causes any change?
It moves the names to the reserved name space.
