I assume you're referring to #24974? The default (for MSVC) is /fp:precise, 
which should allow fenv_access, but maybe ICL uses /fp:fast by default for the 
extra speed?

It's not a safe 3.5 change now, but compiling with /fp:fast by default and 
using #pragma float_control(precise, push)/#pragma float_control(pop) around 
that section may be an option for 3.6, if the benchmarks show some value in it. 
Either way, the pragma is probably the better way to require particular 
behaviour for that section of code, rather than changing a global option.

I'm not totally opposed to allowing an extra option for setting flags when 
building, but there'll almost always be a better fix.
