Ok I see, thanks.

Still lots of insns could be simplified into less alternatives,
when the attribs are identical of course.  Doesn't that create
smaller tables and use less memory to compile?

Yes.  At least when not fpu is available, there can't possibly be
any benefit from these insns.  Sure there will be cases when
the fpu instructions can improve something, just not here.
