port-i386/57684: fpsetround(3) fails to set SSE rounding mode
>Number: 57684

>Description:
The i386 fpsetround function only sets the i387 rounding mode in the FP control word with fldcw:
https://nxr.netbsd.org/xref/src/lib/libc/arch/i386/gen/fpsetround.S?r=1.6
If machdep.sse is true, it needs to also set the SSE rounding mode in the MXCSR with ldmxcsr like fesetround does:
https://nxr.netbsd.org/xref/src/lib/libm/arch/i387/fenv.c?r=1.10#335
However, fpsetround can't simply call fesetround because fpsetround lives in libc while fesetround lives in libm.
>How-To-Repeat:
call fpsetround, read the mxcsr or do SSE floating-point
>Fix:
Yes, please!
Copy & paste of the i387/fenv.c approach should work.
