It _was_ fine -- it was removed about a month ago.

This is how it used to be. There is the "-mno-fancy-math-387"
gcc option for exactly that purpose. It was set per default in gcc's
netbsd-aout configuration. Likely just an oversight that it got lost
in the transition to ELF. (see the MASK_NO_FANCY_MATH_387 flag
in gcc config files)
