FPU inexact flag always set for dynamic programs

[Kjeld Borch Egevang <kjelde@mips.com>]

Hi all.

I've discovered that the inexact bit is always set at startup for a 
program. My test program fenvtest.c:

#include <fenv.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
        int retval;

        retval = fetestexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);
        printf("%d\n", retval);
        return 0;
}

And when I run:

cc -o fenvtest fenvtest.c -lm
./fenvtest 

I get:

4

and:

cc -o fenvtest fenvtest.c -lm -static
./fenvtest

I get:

0

Is there something in /lib/ld.so.1 that invalidates the FP csr?
