Ok, let's do something that all parties can live with:
- the the AT_FPUCW entry doesn't exist, Ulrich defaults to the state that
has been cleared with "fninit" (apply applicable "normal default value"
for all architectures)
- if the AT_FPUCW entry exists, Ulrich can use that instead.
Ulrich has to do something like the above anyway, as no current kernel
will have the AT_FPUCW entry.
For -lieee he cannot do that.
Anyways, you've just officially sanctioned the first part as a
"externally visible userland ABI provided by kernel" and if that isn't
enough for Ulrich to accept it as such and unchanging, then I give up
too and I will distribute modified glibcs on Sparc to my users which
don't have this braindamage in the libc code.
