    Avoid raising unexpected floating point exceptions in libm
    
    When using clang with x86_64 CPUs that support AVX, some floating point
    transformations may raise exceptions that would not have been raised by
    the original code. To avoid this, use the -fp-exception-behavior=maytrap
    flag, introduced in clang 10.0.0.
    
    In particular, this fixes a number of test failures with ctanhf(3) and
    ctanf(3), when libm is compiled with -mavx. An unexpected FE_INVALID
    exception is then raised, because clang emits vdivps instructions to
    perform certain divides. (The vdivps instruction operates on multiple
    single-precision float operands simultaneously, but the exceptions may
    be influenced by unused parts of the XMM registers. In this particular
    case, it was calculating 0 / 0, which results in FE_INVALID.)
    
    If -fp-exception-behavior=maytrap is specified however, clang uses
    vdivss instructions instead, which work on one operand, and should not
    raise unexpected exceptions.
