Nathaniel Smith added the comment:

Also fixing the abi issues that started this, and probably making an argument 
for why it makes sense for all of cpython's built-in float operations to check 
the fpu flags, and to do so using a weird longjmp-based mechanism that only 
some platforms support. The fact that it's disabled by default and has been 
broken for a decade+ without anyone noticing might be working against you 
here...

You might get the impression that I think this is a bad idea. I do :-). But I 
am genuinely trying to helpful; I'm sure people would be willing to listen to 
an argument, and if you want to make one then those are the sorts of issues 
you're likely to need some answer for.
