 we have a regression in the netbsd-3 branch.

 bla.c shown in the PR runs fine.  running gdb on ping shows the
 following:
 
 Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
 0x0804b228 in summary ()
 (gdb) x/i $pc
 0x804b228 <summary+224>:	fsqrt

 I can't seem to get a test case that generates a fsqrt call, and don't
 have a verbose build log to see how gcc was invoked on ping.c.
