>Description:

        The ieeefp/except regression test fails on soft-float userlands,
        because the softfloat library uses raise(3) to send SIGFPE when
        exceptions should occur, but has no way of setting the si_code
        field of siginfo with the correct code.

        The failure reported by the regression test is:

		assertion "sicode == ops[i].sicode" failed: file "except.c", line 164, function "main"

        This same failure occurs on PowerPC when built with softfloat
        userland.

>How-To-Repeat:

	cd .../regress/lib/libc/ieeefp/except
	make
	make regress

>Fix:
	None given.
