IEEE 754-2008 (indicated by the 16th bit of FCSR), this variable
will be set to <option>--with-nan=2008</option> so GCC will be
configured to use the IEEE 754-2008 encoding for NaN values as
the default. If this option is not properly set to match the CPU,
many Glibc and Python tests will fail because of the wrong NaN
encoding.</para>
the default. If this option is not properly set to match the CPU,
depending on the host kernel configuration, the programs compiled
by GCC may fail to start with
<computeroutput>Exec format error</computeroutput> (causing
<xref linkend='ch-tools-chroot'/> to fail), or produce bad results
(causing test failures building some packages, for example Glibc
and Python).</para>
<!-- TODO: If the kernel is booted with ieee754=emulated, we'll
be just using the default of the toolchain but that's not
always the best. If the host toolchain already uses an NaN
encoding different from the hardware FPU, the FPU will be
disabled and all FP instructions are emulated by the kernel.
That's obviously very slow. But I've not figured out a
method to probe. -->
