Some of the GPU targets, IIRC, want daz/ftz by default. Not all targets have 
DAZ/FTZ bits that can be set; I think RISC-V is in this category, although to 
be honest, trying to track down all the ISA extensions to make sure is a bit 
beyond my ken.

I kinda do long for the day when daz/ftz can be consigned to the same sort of 
dustbin of history as, say, EBCDIC.

The issue here I think is that of the Linux targets, only the x86 people cared 
enough to get the denormal-fp-math set correctly, but the logic actually 
applies across targets. It's a real mess since some targets flush to positive 
zero and some targets flush to signed zero and some manuals I couldn't make 
heads or tails out of what they actually did.
